I bought my first grisport boots 8 years ago, and I have used them every single day, for 3 hours off pist in the wild, in moist forests as well as rocky mountains, in winter and hot summerdays. Not one blister. Really good protection of wrists. Solid yet soft leather and everlasting good-grip-soles. I have tried expensive Capri and Lundhags boots and they are waaay out of the league of these Grisport boots. Now I have bought a new pair of Grisport Ranger boots for the next 8 years of daily wandering. These particular boots are impossible to find in Norwegian shops, but they can be bought on the Grisport british homesite. It'll cost a little extra in taxes, but they are soooo worth it. Thank you! (Picture is of my old outweared boots and the brand new boots I just got in the mail - hurray!).
