Schnee’s Mountain Boot vs Hoffman Explorer flex rating
Bump for @HoffmanBoots Trying to get a handle on the flex of the Explorer. -

Hiking boot for deep snow
That fine line between comfortable feet and sweaty feet that end up making you cold is a fine one. I wore a Schnee’s Beartooth 200g with gaiters in 1-2ft of snow this past November during a cold snap in NW CO. Single digits most days. My feet were cold. Why? No fault of the boot, they did their... -

Schnee’s Mountain Boot vs Hoffman Explorer flex rating
I’m pretty familiar with the flexibility of Schnee’s Beartooth and Timberline boots. I’m a high end boot ho and I’m starting to think there’s something to the one-piece vamp design on the Hoffman Explorer. Can anyone speak to the flexibility and perhaps even fit of the boots as a comparison? -

Which boot for heel issues?
🤷♂️ Might try a Scarpa? I think they have a skinny heel medium forefoot last. Honestly, I think I’m around like 267mm with lightweight hiking socks. Using a Brannock, that’s barely shy of a 43, like a 42.8. Which makes me somewhere around a 9.25 US sizing. I wear a 10 in almost all boots. -

Which boot for heel issues?
Years of battling a bad combo of D width forefoot, skinny heel with Haglunds on one side, and ankles that roll with no notice; I’d all bit given up. I thought stiff soles were the answer and I just couldn’t find the one that fit. How wrong I was. There is no such thing as a heel that doesn’t... -

Seek Outside: Integrated Vs. Breakaway Frame
I solved the riddle today and punched thumb button on an Unaweep 4800. I think it solves about 98.3% of the problems I had with my Panzërkampfwagen of a backpack I used prior, the Mystery Ranch Metcalf. That thing weighs damn near 6lbs, the side zip never got used, and even though it has Dana... -

SO Unaweep packing meat
Went with the Unaweep 4800. The pack is on my back 95+% of the time as a summer backpacking pack, hunting day pack, and the occasional bivy/backpacking while hunting pack. That extra pound of the Goshawk may not sound like much, but in the realm of summer packing with friends and fam, it is... -

SO Unaweep packing meat
I scoured the forums and I’m not getting a great answer for this question. Looking for a do-it-all pack for summer backpacking and Sept elk hunting. I’m trying to find out how well you can strap meat to the outside of a Seek Outside Unaweep pack. I’d rather not deal with the added 13-16oz of... -

Heel Blisters- Need advice
I can only surmise that they work to reduce the shear associated with heel blisters. It’s one thing to lock a heel down so it can’t move even one millimeter via lacing techniques. That reduces abrasion and probably helps reduce blisters to a degree. But I think it’s totally another thing to... -

Heel Blisters- Need advice
Of those, I’d be surprised if Quests weren’t the best fit for what you’ve described. I was very close to keeping them. They were kind of shocking in a way, just how comfy they were out of the box. They have some secret sauce for how they shape/last that boot for sure. -

Heel Blisters- Need advice
Between the Salomon Quest and Schnee’s Timberline, I decided to keep the Timberline. The Quests fit a smidge better, but they have lots of other shortcomings compared to the Timberline, mostly relating to ankle stability and durability. I think I’ll also keep one of the boots between the Hoka... -

Schnees timberline reviews
I’ll take a different tact…I think it goes beyond what the uppers are made of. There is enough nubuck in the Quest that it isn’t quite the fast drying, lightweight trail-only boot some assert. The are only 5 ounces apart in weight. Thats not nothing, but it isn’t a vast difference. And the... -

Schnees timberline reviews
Lots of comparisons between Timberlines and Quests on this thread. I just so happen to be in that debate at the moment. The flex is extremely similar. The fit is marginally more comfy in the Quest. In size 10, the Quests weigh ~5oz less per boot. I can’t rate durability or waterproofing yet... -

Blister proof sock recommendations
Engo Patches work a treat, particularly for the heel/achilles interface with the heel pocket of your boot. Look into those for sure. And pretaping absolutely works. I think the best candidates are fixomull stretch tape, leukotape, and KT Blister tape. I found the difference between two socks... -

JStol, I forgot to mention one thing! Please spend an hour or so looking at this website’s learning section or her YT channel. https://www.blister-prevention.com/ This is an incredible resource. This lady spends an inordinate amount of time explaining why blisters occur (it ain’t just... -
