Guys,
Not sure how many appreciate a great pair of working boots, but after signing up for the different pro deals off here, I went to promotive.com, and acquired a nice set of the Kayland Vertigo High boots. This is an extremely comfortable boot, very light weight, and has the new Event Technology for better breathing, and water proofing. I like these boots so much, I am considering ordering another pair to shelf for future use, as a great boot at some point, becomes hard to find as styles change.
This boot would be great for a good hiking boot, good technical climbing boot as it accepts crampons, probably not acceptable for high altitude, very cold temperatures, where an Alpine Lowa, or Mendl boot would be used.
I would also very much consider this boot for tactical use, based on the weight and durability factor, the boot is very well built. One thing I like is the stiffness in the ankle movement, which while running in terrain where it is easy to turn an ankle on a stone, these would be great. The cocoa color scheme is not flashy, and would fit well with 5.11 gear, or military uniforms. I have inserted a couple of photos.
One additional noted feature I have always found useful in a good working boot would be a fairly high wrap around the front of the boot of thick rubber, which alleviates cuts, and wear on the leather while either prone, or working in higher altitudes.
I'd highly recommend this boot, and off the promotive site they cost me $121.00, against the retail pricing of $220.00.
