NitroX,

I have a pair of Redbacks, that I bought for the site, but they are almost worthless, because the site I am working on has 22 meters of fall in 50 meters, with some near vertical sections. Yes, I am overseeing building a 3 story home this block of ground. If I was flatlanding it, the Redbacks or Blundstones would be the trick, but this is a different story.

Gryphon,

Inspite of being avid iceskater in my youth, I still have quite a weak ankle due to a broken foot. So those elastic sided boots, have been pure torture to wear for the last few weeks. I am quite desperate to find a good set of boots.

I have this very bad feeling there will be a big charge to my credit card, and a set of Danner's will be on their way. Expensive, yes, but worth every penny.

This is my current pair after 8 years, 3 pairs of soles, and 3 times around the world. Still the cheapest pair of boots you can buy, at about $37.50US per year including the resoling costs. A pair of Redbacks cost about $80AU and it looks like I will go through about 2 pair a year at this rate and the comfort level is not even comparable with the Danner's.
