  1. In the market for some new boots and these seem to have found the way to the
    top of my list to try out. I know a few people on here swear by their SL's,
    but does anyone have anything, good, bad or indifferent, to say about the
    Super Treks? Any other contenders in this range that you want to shout or
    swear about?

    Must haves for me are:
    1. Gore-tex liner - I don't have sweaty feet and GT works for me, whereas
    wet feet most definitely do not.
    2. Fabric Uppers - Again, experience has taught me that leather, even when
    well broken in, is just too stiff for me.
    3. Lightweight - Not too clompy, but without compromising support.
    4. Occasional crampon use.

    I notice the La Sportiva Trango S Evo getting quite a bit of press recently
    and they are very lightweight, GT, Fabric and B2. Only drawback seems to be
    the choice of colours, Red or Electric Blue!

    Regards,
    Richard G.

  2. i started with supertreks on my AT hike and switched out to trail
    runners.
    THey ar enice boots, but gortex in a boot is a con, it does sweet F.A
    and has nothing to do with your foot staying dry or not, and once the
    boot is wet, the gortex takes em longer to dry.
    didnt test them with crampons so cant comment.

    Make sure that you get the Evo, and not the previous version (which I have
    seen at reduced price) - it wasn't as waterproof as the "evolved" model,
    which is probably an important point for UK use.

    Try Raichle Scout GTX at £90

    Excellent fit straight out of the box.
