My son is going to be hiking in Philmont this July and I am about to buy him some boots. I am looking for 1) suggestions on boots, and 2) any feedback from former Scouts who've made this trip on what he should bring or leave at home.
My son will be 15, is in pretty good shape, about 6' and weights around 160 lbs. I don’t mind spending some money (Christmas + birthday) on these, but would love to keep it to less than $200 if possible. Plus, he may actually grow out of the damn things before the trip gets here! Thanks
