How would you compare this boot with Kayland Contact? I have a pair of Contacts which are working out great. Have not used them for heavy backpaking, and wondering if I should consider this boot?
I have a farily wide foot & have been surprized at how well the Contacts fit. Wonder if this boot would be comparable.
Thanks

Kayland uses two different lasts, called something like Precise for narrower/lower-volume feet and Comfort for wider higher-volume feet. Vertigo High is made on the Precise last; Contact is made on the Comfort last. I have the VH and like the fit a lot, but my feet are too narrow/low-volume for most boots. If you have wider feet you might want to stay with the Contact series. Also, in tryout a few years ago the Contacts seem to have a little more underfoot cushioning, which I wish the VH had as well.

It's funny, anyone who tries these loves them, glad you're stoked on your contacts. The Vertigo highs are made for heavy loads and steep, wet terrain. Bring the rain.
