>>2766000This is nice to hear. I went with ar8s, no shank, a shallow lugged sole and a leather toe cap. No inner structure in the toe because I want them flexible. I hike in mostly boreal forests. I also asked them to double stitch whatever they though t would need extra durability because I wear my boots down hard. How have you found they manage water. I usually take rain boots in rain, hut often wet grass is just as bad.
