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.
Are there any other boots out there like Dr. Martens Rigal Knit? Easily the most comfortable boots I've ever owned, but the stitching has come apart and the line was discontinued.
Starting cell tower climbing on Monday. After tons of searching and trying on maybe 15 different boots, I decided on the Thorogood 804. The internet seems to think I made a good choice.
