Ouch and BTW a rock at my soles

By Erik Gulbranson Ranked #153 - Men's Hiking Boots November 13, 2008

They look aggressive. However, after breaking them in I still received sharp pain in my upper left ankle, same with the other ankle. Inserts and experiments with lacing did not solve the problem. Laces were devoured by the rough metal lacing eyelets. The leather rand punctured quite easily. Last but not least the sole must have been made out of lithophobic materials, since I swear the rubber was trying to escape the soles as I hiked around on rock outcroppings and trails (much more so than with other boots). I guess looks aren't everything.
