    Best outdoors memory from 2022?

    Walked a quarter mile barefoot through the woods shirtless because my dumb ass buddy and my dumb ass thought it’d be fun to swim to an island in the middle of a lake in Yosemite Wilderness. Straight up thought I was going to drown. Started to swim back, breathed water again then found a way...

    Solomon Quest Alternative

    It's heat that causes the issue with delaminating. I highly doubt your issue is due to the dryer. I was at a point convinced that I ruined a pair of boots putting them on my heater registers, a lot. 5 years later, the guy who owns them now says they're the best boots he has ever owned. And...

    Wool socks are starting to suck!

    Be prepared to throw everything else away. Everyone I know who started with a pair or two now owns nothing else. Darn Tough’s warranty is rad. You don’t need full on holes in socks, I send in socks with weak elastic and they take care of it.

    Hydrobloc Cream Alternative for Zamberlan (981 / 996)

    You just said that they recommended Nikwax. Maybe I’m missing something. I hope you can find a medium between not Nikwax and not in stock Hydrobloc. Like I said, it’s always worked great for me. My boot cupboard has a big tube of Hydrobloc and tons of nikwax stuff. Haven’t found them to be...

    Any boot brand with a similar lacing system to Hanwag’s

    Don’t know exactly. The hardware looks identical aside from the suspended ankle strap lace loop on the Tibet vs the fixed one on the Ticam. Lowa cemented boot uppers are mostly Czech made, and they don’t specify how many lasts they have, so who knows on that front. My Hanwag 13s don’t feel...

    Any boot brand with a similar lacing system to Hanwag’s

    I was going to mention the Lowa Tibet as having a similar lacing system. Excellent boot. HAns WAGner and LOrenz WAgner were brothers. Companies now owned by Fenix of Sweden and Tecnica of Italy. Just for fun.

    Hydrobloc Cream Alternative for Zamberlan (981 / 996)

    “Hydrobloc” leather just means leather treated with their stuff. I’ve had good luck with Nikwax, color and consistency in the bottle are different. Hydrobloc is like a clear silicon consistency. Nikwax is a watery paste you need to shake up. End result on the boots seems the same. I can’t...

    Lowa Renegade GTX

    I avoid the left leaners as much as I can. Enjoy using that return policy.

    Hanwag boots shrinking???

    Which Mammuts? My Taiss Light Mid GTX is probably my favorite boot I've had so far. I got Hanwags to get a higher waterproof level since my high volume foot stopped the tongue from sealing water out, and so my toes don't crash on descents. to OP, I'm with the other guys, that it sounds like wet...

    Lowa Renegade GTX

    REI's political leanings make me pretty sick - I'm done using them as much as I can avoid them. The return policy is pretty great, but it's tough for me to spend the extra with them, given the weak selection and woke tendencies. On Renegade: The sole separation is due to material breakdown via...
