Boots Boots Boots - For Boot Guys Only

[mosy]

I don't know about the specific traits of hiking boots, but for me the key to a good all-weather all-activity boot (in my case camping and hunting - the latter of which involves a fair degree of walking over open varied ground, though walking is not the purpose) are a durable upper and a synthetic sole with some tread. Leather soles in the field are just absurd.

My CXL AE Bayfields served this purpose for many years:

I still think CXL is nearly unbeatable as a choice for the uppers - and the Carmina Jumpers that have replaced them are of that material:

But if you happen to luck into a pair of genuine Heather Gorse (Zug!) Veldtshoens, that's probably the cat's pyjamas right there.

absolutely love those carminas! when did you get those? and is that the Oscar last?

Thanks. I guess it's these....

...as it says these are burgundy cxl. However they look like a deep tan. Is it in fact these?

 

[RogerP]

Yes, it's those. They are a lot more red IRL.

I don't care what color they are still a great looking pair of boots. I'm sure they look even better on.

Thanks! I got them from an awesome shop in Maastricht (Holland) called "Shoes and Shirts". They have a very nice selection of shoes (corthaC, Edward green, C&C, Lattanzi...)

Nice place to visit in Maastricht then. Thanks

Is your TTS size US10D?

I don't believe TTS is something that actually exists. But 10D would be my closest notional US size.

My interpretation of TTS is the most commonly found size in your shoe collection.
