Just found this forum when looking for advice on how walking boot technology has changed since we bought the last pairs ten years ago!
We live in the beautiful Suisse Normande region of Normandy and enjoy walking directly from our door or further afield. One nice thing is that the retired folk in our village all go for a walk every Thursday afternoon - this means we get to improve our French and learn lots about the area. We do miss walking in the New Forest and the North York moors though.
