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.
Strange white markings coming up on my boots after 24hours or so, they've been conditioned and then i polish them occasionally. The marks come out with a quick clean with water but come back once dried. Pretty new boots so nothing like salt stain
First pair of wedge boots. These are actually Harley boots, that cost around $110, yet are the softest leather and most comfortable style boot I’ve ever worn. I can only imagine what a more expensive brand boot would feel like.
