A: Do I need to break in double plastic mountaineering boots? I know the author of the original question has already make their purchase, but for anyone else out there, I would recommend getting a set of mountain-grade leather boots, like the La Sportiva Nepal. They are much kinder to your feet - plastic boots break your feet in, not the other way around! (more) |

They are so light you won't even notice you are carrying it. (more) |
