>>2672211They just are too heavy. Look at weight of hiking boots in comparison.
And they are too high. Will be very uncofmrotable when going up and downhill.
If you want to go hiking in the Alps why not buy a boot which is designed for hiking in the Alps?? Is it autism??
I'll let you in on a secret, bud; nobody wears military gear by choice in the mountains, except LARPers.
Tier one guys wear hiking gear (when it's operationally permissable to do so), Because it's better, and it's designed for that specific purpose.
