In this series I cover key features of backpacking boot construction to help you in your purchase decision. I may have left some things out but I cover the important parts. I don’t review specific boots and probably won’t ever: models change frequently and it’s just logistically impossible for me now. Using the info I provide here just give a good basis for getting the right heavy duty hiking boot.
** Please do not PM me with questions about specific boot models and what would be good for you. I apologize but I just don’t have the time to research it for you.

Great series, …
Great series, excellent knowledge on you topics, one comment I may have during my time in the defence force we were always told to lace across the boot not crisscross as in your videos. The reason is should you ever need to cut your boots off in a hurry, fall into sea or deep river or an injury it is easier to cut down the lenght.Just a comment take as you will Cheers Jock
