Hi,

Do you mind if I ask which last? Soller?

Thanks, Graham

I don’t mind at all, it’s Rain.

These were a great product for the time. Cheap, light as a feather, great suede and a great foot silhouette. They were a sort of bare minimum shoe, but the suede was elegant and buttery soft.

Mine lasted several years before a squeeky heel and the yearn to explore better shoes eventually forced them out of the rotation.

Yeah I don’t wear them often, but whenever I do I always think, I forgot how comfy these are.

I'm looking for some recommendations for boots. I am currently using some Arc'Teryx Acrux TR GTX boots, which I bought in July. I really like them, but the side has just split and now they're not waterproof. I will take this up with the supplier, but in the meantime I need a recommendation as I'm not going to buy the Arc'Teryx again. I realise that the first question is what I use them for. I live in Snowdonia and walk at least a few miles every day. It's wet here so I need a boot that is entirely waterproof. Most walking is on slate or earth paths but there is a bit of tarmac too. There's also some scrambling on rock, but I won't be climbing in them. I can be out all day but distances aren't huge, maybe 10-12 miles, there's a lot of up and down. I don't climb up mountains in the winter so don't need to attach crampons. I had a pair of Scarpa Terra before for years and they were super comfortable but not very grippy. Ideally I don't want something that's going to take a season to break in. I am happy to pay more if I can have something that lasts a few years. Any obvious brands you would recommend as a starting point? Rest of my kit is a mix of ArcTeryx, Haglofs and Berghaus.

i live in the Pacific Northwest in the US. It's wet and cold here, especially in the mountains. I do lots of hiking year round. Most of my days are 18-25 mile hikes with gains in the ballpark of 6-8,000 feet. The point being I use and abuse my footwear when out hiking. I've been wearing Asolo boots exclusively for the last 8-9 years. They perform wonderfully. I swear by my Arcteryx coat and other gear but I have zero experience with their footwear. I would image a hiking or trekking forum may give you a broader range of feedback and recommendations than this particular one. Hope this helps in any way. Take care!
