We have a large family and will not be able to just return a pair of boots if they are not &quot;right&quot;. There are four of us big people and four little ones. We wear size 12 and 13 men&#39;s and size 8 and 9 women&#39;s. These look like great boots ... can anyone help me please? Thanks! question_134037 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:10:20 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Columbia-Packus-Ridge-Omni-Tech-Hiking-Boot-Mens/COL1128M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_127644#question_127644 Columbia Packus Ridge Omni-Tech Hiking Boot - Men's<br /><br />I am looking for a good, on the cheaper side hiking boot, for 5 - 10 mile hikes in easy - medium terrain, most likely nothing really hard. But I want a boot that can do a little bit of everything. I also have flat feet and have customer orthopedic inserts that I use in all my shoes. Are the soles in these shoes removable?<br />Do I need to buy regular width or extra wide to support a thick sock? All of my current regular shoes are normal width.<br />Thanks for the help! question_127644 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 16:15:09 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Asolo-Flame-GTX-Hiking-Boot-Mens/ASO0024M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_126497#question_126497 Asolo Flame GTX Hiking Boot - Men's<br /><br />how do these compare to the Asolo Prism boots? I tried those on and loved the support and shank stiffness (as opposed to the sloppier-feeling soles of the Fugitive). question_126497 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:05:36 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/The-North-Face-Jannu-GTX-Hiking-Boot-Mens/TNF3294M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_126308#question_126308 The North Face Jannu GTX Hiking Boot - Men's<br /><br />I am looking for a waterproof boot that is extremely tough, wide (at least an E) and is trail tested. Some friends and I are going on the CDT in the spring and I would like to have time to break them in. The boot does not have to be lightweight. question_126308 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 04:05:49 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Oakley-SI-Assault-6in-Boot-Mens/OAK0965M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_125756#question_125756 Oakley SI Assault 6in Boot - Men's<br /><br />Interesting that the 6&quot; black version of this boot is not offered with the breathable cordura like both the 8&quot; black boot and the 6&quot; desert color boot.<br /><br />Too bad, because I&#39;d like the 6&quot; black boot but all-leather seems like it would be a bit hot for my taste. question_125756 Sat, 05 Sep 2009 21:53:07 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/The-North-Face-Jannu-GTX-Hiking-Boot-Mens/TNF3294M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_124939#question_124939 The North Face Jannu GTX Hiking Boot - Men's<br /><br />is this a good hiking boot or is it a better mountainering boot with its full nylon shank?<br />thanks mike question_124939 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 08:20:57 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Scarpa-Kailash-GTX-Hiking-Boot-Mens/SCR0098M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_123161#question_123161 Scarpa Kailash GTX Hiking Boot - Men's<br /><br />i am a male 6&#39;2&quot; 200 lbs,will be doing about 20 miles backpacking in Hawaii a month from now with about 35 lb. pack. I have slightly narrow,low to medium volume feet (size 13/47). Need enough support/stiffness without too much boot weight. also there are some sections of the trail which are a loose-gravel type of rock/dirt where the trail is only a foot wide with a life-threatening steep dropoff on one side and cliff wall on the other, meaning confidence in my boot&#39;s sole/traction is a MUST. so far i like what i have read about the Kailash. other boots i have been considering (from reviews only so far) are Montrail Torre , and maybe a couple of Vasque boots. i would greatly appreciate your helpful advice ! thanks ... question_123161 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 09:51:32 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Asolo-FSN-95-GTX-Hiking-Boot-Mens/ASO0030M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_122379#question_122379 Asolo FSN 95 GTX Hiking Boot - Men's<br /><br />So, I wear size 10.5 in new balance mens sneakers and also 10.5 in Nike mens sneakers.

Temperatures range anywhere from -10 F all the way up to 140 F, and terrain can be dry desert or rocky mountain. I&#39;m currently wearing a pair of Kayland Contacts, and have found that they are a bit too bulky and cold weather oriented for this job. Not to mention the soles are a bit too stiff for this much walking. I&#39;m usually carrying about a 50lb pack, wearing around 80lbs of gear and walking all types of terrain at a quick pace. Would the Kailash work out for this? If not, what would you recommend? Thanks alot for any help. question_117302 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 04:16:42 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Columbia-Titanium-Daska-Pass-Omni-Tech-Boot-Mens/COL1732M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_116404#question_116404 Columbia Titanium Daska Pass Omni-Tech Boot - Men's<br /><br />Hello<br /><br />I&#39;m planning my next hiking trip. We will climb a 20 000 ft mountain in southern Peru, Coropuna mountain. The way up the summit is rocky, but the last 3000 ft are snowy and we will have to use crampons.
