These boots were provided to me last week, so a review will be forthcoming next month, but while I am running them around the mountains of North Idaho and Montana I will be documenting my day, feel of the boot and amount traveled. Fire away with questions as you see fit.
These boots are being used exclusively for shed hunting at this time of year and a typical day will be 4-12 hrs of use, covering 5-15 miles with a lot of side hilling.
First impression when received very well designed boot that will take abuse When received I wore them to the gym that night on the treadmill for 30 minutes, otherwise there was no break in time before taking off the next morning. I wore them for 5 hrs in the rain and expected I would be a hurting unit at the end, but other than a couple of mild warm spots I was going to be good to go the next morning. Being an old man with many prior ankle rolls, I am always aware of how a boot will provide support for my ankles pretty much above all else. These boots provide excellent ankle support and are very stiff, allowing you to comfortably walk on side hills without much strain. I was pleased with the first day.
Day 2 was the next day and it was a full 7-7 day covering approximately 15 miles, 5 of that being side hilling. I started the day with no discomfort from the prior day. The stiffness, no lateral movement and traction never let me down throughout the day. They were a pleasant boot to wear with no real break in on a very long day. The as advertised A.B.S.S. Ankle Support Structure is excellent as my old weary ankles never felt tired or close to a rollover throughout the day. For someone with ankle issues I can see this as a excellent boot.
Day 3 to come this weekend.
