new boots
« on: 08:38:35, 16/07/08 »
i'm looking to buy some new 3 - season boots. i've had a pair of lowa boots for the last ten years but have had problems with blisters on the back of the ankles. this has been more of a hinderance than actually stopping me from going walking.
i've been looking at the meindl borneo or burma. any advice would be much appreciated. thanks, shaun.

I've got the Meindl Borneo and this is my second pair, I really like them because they are leather lined and my feet get too hot with Gortex lined boots. I've had no problems and they are a good fit for me (I have custom orthoses), I wore my new pair from the box for a week in the Lakes and had no blisters.
Having said that, choose a pair of boots that fits you not by name.
