Does anyone wear size 8.5's?

[JDZ]

How do you like the Desert Guides?

The jury is still out. I bought them used not long ago. I like the initial feel, but I'm not sure I like the lower height as compared to the Mountain Extreme. I got a little hot spot on my heel the first time I wore them on hilly terrain. I need to test different socks and lacing methods.

8.5-9 right here.

What kinda boots were you trying to sell?

Old style Lowa Cevendales and Lowa LL baffin pros

10.5 on size
I have worn each of these brands a full season the last few years and passed them along as not for me:
Scarpa Charmoz (toe box tight)
Lowa Tibet GTX (fit was off for me)
Zamberlan Guide 960 (liked but too heavy)

Wore these to break in and ditched them:
Danner Gila & High Ground (way uncomfortable for my feet)
Under Armour Brow Tine
La Sportiva Trango Cube (narrow for me)

Boots I currently run & love:
Crispi Valdres (non insulated but comfy as slippers)
Salewa Rapace (quick & nimble)

Never understood the Salomon love. They leak right out of the box and maybe last a season.

Its probably because they are already falling apart

In all fairness though, you could break an anvil.

The military should have "Avery compliant" rated gear. If it is also American Sourced, then it would be Berry compliant, too. Berry-Avery Compliant gear, or BA for short.

I can’t argue that!

I see a couple of guys that like Meindl's. . . Are they pretty good?

I’ve had mine for twelve or so years......

My boot size seems to very depending on manufacturer. For the past 8 years I’ve been wearing a 42.5 Scarpa Mont Blanc GTX, but a couple days ago I bought a pair of La Sportiva Nepal Evo GTX’s in a 42. I’ve really liked my Scarpa’s, and for the last couple years I’ve been saying that when the time comes to replace them, I’d buy the same thing. Well I didn’t buy Scarpa’s, and I hope I didn’t just make a big mistake.

I'm not sure of your question? They are the Hardscrabble Lite Hikers, size 8.5, standard width.

I love that I got them for just over $100

Yes, you are correct that they leak right out of the box. Nothing like figuring that out on opening morning waking up to a fresh 6 inches of snow.

I broke them in, but never had worn them with precipitation present.

Anyone want to buy some Lowa Renegades with under 20 miles on them for $120? They're gray . . and if they look a little funny in the picture, I greased them with boot grease. I thought it would make them look cleaner but they just look wrinklier.
