glacier and makalu as fire boots
By rosewood1201
Ranked #852 - Men's Mountaineering Boots
August 19, 2005
I have tried both these boots and they are awesome for wildland firefighting. They are super comfortable and side hill a lot better than whites or nicks. They are light and the break-in time is less than a week. The size seems to run a little big, and they are hotter than typical fire boots, but these are the best boots for wildland fire out.
