Still, maybe I'll post a picture of the boots on my Twitter account and see if Hi Tec has something to say about it!Diananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736035637103377628.post-32630631017286222262014-09-23T07:08:39.000-07:002014-09-23T07:08:39.000-07:00I know I'm supposed to feel amazed at the dura...I know I'm supposed to feel amazed at the durability of your sock (I do), but I can't help but wonder what kind of crap boots you got that fell apart during a hike??? :)cthomas1967http://thomaskruegerfamily.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736035637103377628.post-40050841665125314572014-09-23T08:03:50.000-07:002014-09-23T08:03:50.000-07:00LOL, agreed!

On the other hand, the boots were old--I'm pretty sure they hiked Norway's fjords and the Italian Dolomites.

Which has me wondering - what kind was it? You should also send your story to the company that makes those loser hiking shoes and ask for a refund. I have never heard of hikers falling apart like that. I love my Keens. They have carried me over miles and miles of Scotland and Wales. I highly recommend them!kristieinbchttp://journeynorthof49.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
