Africa Boot

[AKNANC]

Heading to Zimbabwe this Spring and need a good boot / sock combo. I just bought a pair of Danner Mountains (non-insulated) and my feet sweat in them... Thinking something w/o gore tex? Any suggestions?

My feet sweat in all boots. I just use a good merino sock, darn tough or crispi.

Standard down there is gonna be a good leather boot with flexible sole for stalks like courteney or Jim Greens.

I’m headed back in the spring as well and plan on trying some zamberlan salathe which is a light hiker.

Doing the Salathe shoe or boot? Running a gator with these? Have been using the darn toughs and like them... Thx

I have the boot so that’s what I’m rolling with. Would have preferred the shoe actually though. With boyds gaiters. Don’t really need a tall gaiter.

Appreciate the feedback - thanks. I have a low Crispi gator but the velcro seems to make noise when I walk so I am guessing they will not make the trip.

No problem. This your first trip over there? What species are you after?

First trip. Going with some friends who have been there many times. I have a kudo on quota and will be open to whatever presents itself. Friend is hunting elephant and cape so I am super excited just to tag along for the experience. Also going to chase tiger fish for a day or two.

Yourself?
