Re: Walking boots
My Ice boots are Salomon and are the best boots I have ever owned, but at £180 they had better be! I also loved my Salomon X Adventure 7 boots until they finally died while I was doing my Mountain Leader Training in November 03.
These days my summer lightweights are a lovely pair of Leather Asolo scrambling boots. Good and stiff for great support and also a sole unit good enough for a nice mountain day. Love them.
Hate Brasher due to them not lasting up to a day as an MLT instructor, Berghaus and Karrimore also feature quite low in my great boot list. In the other extreme, I have some light weight walking shoes by Merrell, rebadged as Peter Storm, they are great boots.
