I'm wondering if this boot would be good for me out here...

By Ranked #577 - Men's Hiking Boots July 10, 2009

I'm wondering if this boot would be good for me out here in Afghanistan. Temperatures range anywhere from -10 F all the way up to 140 F, and terrain can be dry desert or rocky mountain. I'm currently wearing a pair of Kayland Contacts, and have found that they are a bit too bulky and cold weather oriented for this job. Not to mention the soles are a bit too stiff for this much walking. I'm usually carrying about a 50lb pack, wearing around 80lbs of gear and walking all types of terrain at a quick pace. Would the Kailash work out for this? If not, what would you recommend? Thanks alot for any help.

Would be glad to send you a pair. Just want to offer a soldier what he needs to keep him safe when you're doing your job for the rest of us. What is your size, unit, address,etc. that I would need to send it to you.
