    Disappointed with my hiking shoes

    Just to add, my personal experiences with Goretex have not been so good in spite of numerous optimistic purchases. Natural leather boots have in the past been a little more successful (and waterproof) but mainly in cooler climbs. My main problem is that I get wet from the inside. Perspiration...

    Disappointed with my hiking shoes

    'Light' and 'lots of ventilation' would really float my boat :) I'll try some for the fit o_O

    Disappointed with my hiking shoes

    And I was beginning to think it was only me who had the hot feet problem.

Zip pockets on belt for wallet, sweets etc, phone and walking pole storage on the move just makes things easy. A light comfortable and well thought...

    Another Backpack recommendation request

    The Exos 46 is so well thought out in use on the move. Carries my lightweight camping gear, clothing and food, is comfortable and gives easy access to bottles, phone, pole etc without taking it off. Try one obviously but I am so pleased with mine, even got a few quid off it last year in Cotswolds.
