Gary, what is your opinion on the height of the boot? I'm starting line school in 2 months and have to get a pair of climbing boots. Im torn between these and the lineman hiker boot by hoffman that is about the same size as the la sportiva hiker. Is a higher 10in boot favorable for climbing?
i personally prefer the taller boot, not only for climbing but for all around use, they support your ankles when walking in uneven terrain and when you are on the wood the gaffs dont rub your calves. but they are heavier than the low tops but i don't mind the little bit of added weight.
Your newest boot video made my night !!! Happy you kept them dirty. Great looking boots..and thanks for showing the soles and the inside of them
Hope to see another one of your Hoffman boot videos soon. Always like seeing your boots.
