    Help selecting Boots for our Walk.

    Hi Dave, I am never too old for good advice. I have just been in Majorca giving my Teva sandals a good workout. When I got back I ordered a pack of flexible plastic carving boards to make Rock Plates. These are 1.2mm thick and can be cut with scissors and are textured on one side to avoid...

    Are goretex shoes necessary?

    Chiruca Dynamic 52 Gore-Tex

    Hi, I am interested in the discussion regarding Trail Runners/Walking shoes/Boots. In the past I have worn good quality top brand walking boots and shoes. With the advent of increasing birthdays I have found my feet have changed quite considerably. What have been comfortable in the past are not...
