      dumb question, I assume they couldn't flip the skin to make a smoothout right?

      Yes we can.  G

        If you had 1 pair of boots to take on a month long holiday, would this be them?

              Walking the Kiso Valley in Japan for EG (8KM) is likely to be the biggest single day.

                I'd consider the service boots over the hikers…..They are lighter, smaller and a little less "i'm going feckin hiking"....

                  Thanks. Oddly enough a guy I work with wears hikers to work as his work shoes, which really got me thinking about this.

                      Mud has a tendency to wick moisture from leather when you let it dry, in addition to the aforementioned infiltration of grit. I never let mud dry on shoes. YMMV.

                              I'm so impressed with these. I wore them for two consecutive 14 hour work days, straight out of the box. Of that time, I probably spent 30 total minutes off my feet. My feet were tired at the end of the day, but not sore at all, and no blisters.

                              They feel like tanks; I couldn't be happier with them. The fit is absolutely perfect, too. A touch snug, like I prefer.

                              Thank you for making these happen, G.

                                        Yep. I especially love these with Smartwool hiking socks. Next level comfort, like walking on pillows. Totally different vibe than the smokejumper clodhopping stompers, each awesome in their own ways.
