If Scarpas made a EE Wide they might sell a few more.

Boots in the Top End are certainly an endless stream of dissatisfaction. I usually manage 12 to 18 months out of the light-weights but the last 6 of those months are always hoping and praying. Have had to "roman-sandal" soles back on with para-cord and tape to get back to camp, more than once! ...trying to get just one more hunt out of a well-worn pair.

Almost all stitched-sole leather boots are just too heavy.

Remember too that no-one can match the miles of hard-country yomping that Mick and his crew thrive on!
