return to the past
a strong shoe, but very stiff soled and with a folded snow cover that presses strangely and may break in if i wade in enough streams and walk till theyre dry. Also find that with now a seventy year old hikers feet, the various pressure points, left to leather breakdown to solve, hurt in the meantime. The scree collar presses on my achilles uncomfortably. My previous Danner mountain boots of forty years ago, I do remember blistering me till I walked them into submission: Now, I may just be too old to ever accomplish that.
