Alaska Tough Boot

By greginnome Ranked #1402 - Men's Hiking Boots September 5, 2005

I purchased the ProTrek 5 (after an exhaustive search for the discontinued ProTrek 6) with some misgivings (I wanted a boot that went higher on the ankle). However, after three weeks in Alaska, from hiking the White River in the Wrangell Mountains to fishing the Solomon and Pilgrim Rivers on the Seward Peninsula, I can enthusiastically recommend these rugged lightweight boots. My feet were NEVER wet, NEVER cold, and the performance of the soles in shale and scree to glacial moraine was phenomenal. A one week non-hiking break-in period prior to excursions is recommended.
