Kayland Contact Boot - Men's
not enough toe box room

argh! i really want to like these boots. i also have the kayland convert, which is a very good boot, and the kayland apex trek, which is an awesome boot. this boot (the contact) is also very nice, but doesn't have enough toe box room. kayland's web site led me to believe that the contact and convert shared the same asymmetric last. but, in contrast an absolutely huge toe box of the convert, the contact is quite a bit tighter up front. otherwise, this boot is actually very nice. it's a nicer hiker than the convert, except that my toes get smooshed after they warm up and expand.

The *Contacts* definitely have a wider toe-box compared to most manufacturers. I can rarely find boots that fit my toes in my size, yet these work.

hi PY! thanks for catching my errors. wow, the names are close and kinda confusing! i have updated my review to state that the Convert has the giant toe box, but this shoe (the Contact) while really nice, doesn't have nearly as spacious a toe box as the Convert. thanks :)

I'm confused by this review. Is this a review for the Kayland Contact or for some other boot? The reviewer states that the Contact has "an absolutely huge toe box" but that "this boot doesn't have enough toe box room." The review is listed under the Kayland Contact. So...Does the Kayland Contact have ample toe room or not? Thanks.
