CAN"T DECIDE!.....I hate buying boots online...but really have no other choice. How can I possibly pick a boot without trying them on? Aaaaaaaah!// Anyway, I need the PERFECT BOOT. (don't we all)-I'm headin' up to Denali NP for the summer to work in the backcountry.....anyone that's been there knows about a trailess terrian of tundra...I will be spending most of the time moderate-heavy hiking, but would also like to but my trusty crampons and axe to use. Not crazy serious....no McKinley by any means....coupla small traverses maybe.
Heard good things 'bout Kayland; the CONTACTand MXT?
Also been checkin out LaSportiva GLACIERS and Trango And EVO
but can't decide. ANY help would be welcomed.
I guess I'd say my main Priorities are for 1: Comfort (as I will be practically living in them for 4 months), 2: Weight, 3: Versatility......in that order.
Thank You fellow BC Bandits!
