Vivo forest tracker esc durability

[mxgsfmdpx]

First treatment on mine after 2 years of near daily use (two hunting seasons) and abuse on the wetside of WA. I wear them lifting, hunting, running, groceries, yardwork, you name it when it’s not winter.

Cleaned up great.

Did you use the renapur or something else?

I’m thinking about cleaning them and then conditioning them like I do my wife’s high quality leather saddles.

Wiped down with a damp microfiber cloth, air dried, sponge applied Renapur, then air dried again.

I was meticulous in my application, took about an hour I’d say to really get every nook and cranny.

Since buying these boots I have expanded my collection for daily wear

The creeper socks are alright, but I much prefer the injinji toe socks that are not liners. Have had 1 pair of creepers (out of 3) that ripped really bad when I was pulling them on over my toes, on only the second or third time wearing them. They sent a free replacement when I emailed them.

I've been enjoying the winter trackers in the few times I've worn them. They're very comfy and seem to regulate temp pretty well. I don't have many miles yet though. Maybe 15.

I'm also enjoying my forest trackers much more this year after applying the Aquaseal rand. They're much more water resistant now. The stitching and gluing of the sole is the definite weak link in these.

Which Injinji in particular? I didn’t even realize they made anything more than liners.

I like both of these. The ulta run's seem to fit a little more snug and are slightly less thick, but both do very well across a wide range of temps.
If you wear them wet they'll dye your feet though, or at least the dark blue midweight crews, so be forewarned
