New Hiking Boots


Vasque - Zephyr GTX

Finally got around to buying new hiking boots last weekend... much more serious than the current cross-trainer-ish type hikers than I've been wearing the past couple years.

These also replace my way-old non-waterproof heavier-than-heck all-leather boots that I basically never wore.

And yes, I need to break them in - although I did go for a light 3.5 hour hike the day after I bought them and had no problems, hotspots, blisters or anything, so the time spent in the shop trying them on and entertaining/scaring the other customers apparently paid off.
