Re: Boots to last for women
My girlfriend has been very happy with a pair of Scarpas (made by
Fabiano). They are similar to the Sundowner, but I think that they are
slightly lighter in wieght. All leather, vibram sole. She has only
logged a little over 100 miles of day hikes in them, but they still look
like new.

AT GA --> ME '97
Hello!
I am planning a thru hike for '97 and am in a quandry about boots. I
started out trying on evrything in sight, but soon became very
disappointed. In Ithaca Ny, my home town there are only about 4 models
of boots for women, and everyone told me a different story about how long
they will last. I would ideally like a boot that will last the entire
AT. I almost don't care if it falls off of my foot the moment I reach
the very end of the trail, but if something exists that fits me that
would last longer, I would like that.
I know the dangers of just getting a brand that people says work for
them, and I have been thoroughly convinced that I need to try anything on
and make sure it fits my feet, but I need help narrowing down the boots
which I should try. SO
I am interested in the name of any women's boot that has made it the
whole way, and in particular I would like some comments about the Vasque
sundowner and some Asolo boots (as those are readily available to me in
Ithaca).
Thanks!
