5 miles yes

Or spent >24 hours in them

You will immediately know the difference between good boots and shit boots

yeah I've done 2 days with them

Especially if they get wet at all

fudd joining gq be like “just as good”

@kyu Read Siege Nerd

Are they steel toe'd?

Yes

Throw them out

why

c

Heavy shit

Boots is something where the threshold for money put in to quality out rises rapidly to a point then it's all the same

That point is somewhere around the $200 mark it seems

Can I just go to Dick's and get the 120$ tactical ones ?

Almost all the boots below that that I've used have been garbage

hm

Hiking brand boots are almost always better than "tactical" brand shit

Anything Lowa is good to go

There is no way you did 2 days in steelies unless you fucking sat static the whole time

Salo has some pretty good kid range shit

@Smart Car Driveby you can get low zephyr mid gtxs for like 160-170

Honestly pretty solid

Yeah, I hate goretex boots for good reason but those are patrician choice for normie boots

o u don’t like goretex boots?

They have their place

what are your gripes?

But I wouldn't want to use them if I can avoid it

I’m always being told to go for goretex boots

Yeah I mean, I'd rather have sweaty feet then soaked boots

Your feet will get wet this is a garuntee

Goretex does not save you

well yeah

After that goretex just impedes water evaporation and traps heat more

but goretex also focuses on drying faster

Especially ehen it's hot as fuck out

No

isn’t it made specifically to let moisture out??

A dedicated jungle or desert boot always cools and dries faster
