Zamberlan Baltoro lites: one new set of tread and over 2000 miles of hiking in the year I've owned them. Should get another year out of them no problem. As a forester and a avid hiker I really put boots through hell and these have my stamp of approval.
Is it ok to get these leather boots wet for extended durations? back when I bought my Iron rangers I was warned on this sub to avoid moisture. Even far as to not wearing them several days in a row to let them dry out from foot sweat, otherwise the leathe
My recent eBay score. Zamberlan Latemar NW for $200. Wearing in nicely. The seller listed them as used, but from the looks of it, they were only tried on a few times and never worn outside. I consider that a win.
