dan 10 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Gee my Asolo are well over 4 pounds of course they are size 14. I love those boots, it is my first pair of really good hiking boots. They are just about worn out after 5 years. We we hiked through Double H our guide wore hiking shoes, some of the terrain was pretty rough. I think it all comes down to conditioning, if you wear shoes make sure your ankles are ready for the trip. Link to post Share on other sites
Gold Winger 9 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Dang! You could use those boots as an emergency shelter for a smaller scout. Link to post Share on other sites
Herms 10 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 A great high top, light weight boot that "breaths" well are Original Swats. A lot of us got them before we went to Iraq (the "Eleven Pounders" were just to uncomfortable) and they were awesome on not only the sand, but the broken rock areas as well. Highly recommend them. Price - about $65 For Philmont, I will follow the crowd and recommend a good high top boot. Baldy and the Tooth, a must. Link to post Share on other sites
GNX Guy 10 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Having walked the trails, I would not use hiking boots or hiking shoes, I would suggest you investigate backpacking boots, there is a difference. You'll be glad you did. Link to post Share on other sites

Its Me 10 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 After checking some on boot weights I must of been refering to boots made by Cemex. But they wear like concrete. Link to post Share on other sites
