I’ll give you a crazy option of where you can find that review……. RUclips!!!! Yes, you can search RUclips for more videos. Tada…. It’s that easy. Just search unpaid boot review. There you go. Free obvious advice!
one of my favourite things to do (along side hiking of course) is to shop around for a new pair of boots. especially when i have to think about new terrains and conditions
To everyone who's watching, please remember this is a sponsored video and there is little to no evidence that a higher boot "supports" your ankle. Anyone who's done lots of hiking with varying footwear will tell you it protects your ankle but does not prevent rolling or injury.
So I'm 56 years old and I want to start hiking. I'm overweight so my thought process is to get out and move! I'm looking at the Quehanna Wild Area in central Pennsylvania to start with. We have several state parks around with numerous trails so I'm probably going to encounter wet and dry conditions. What do you recommend for a guy like me?
Hey TravellingMojo! It's a bit of both! I stated at the beginning of the video that they've been a sponsor of Epic Trails for awhile now, so I've had the opportunity to test out a lot of their models...and I also just really like their boots!
What the hello happened at 5:03? WHY didn't you let us see the sandals? Did you think the camera was doing a super wide shot that would include the sandals on the ground?
I live in Southern AZ and I currently use Altra trail runners for my hikes. Due to many ankle and foot injuries I’m looking for a desert shoe or boot with good ankle support. Yet it need to be able to handle the monsoon season creek crossings. Any suggestions?
So do you want them to be waterproof for creek crossings? Or breatheable for desert hiking? I really like AKU's Selvetica, been a go to for the last two years. Solid runner ups Scarpa Rush GTX (the goretex will make them maybe too warm) or the Salewa Dropline (breatheable, non waterproof) but very good for fast hiking and excellent ankle support.
Hi! Generally the trails to Machu Picchu can get pretty wet and rain is common. So I'd go with something waterproof first off. And then I'd probably say go for the high ankle support and extra water protection from a full boot. But I'd also make sure they work for you before you go! Enjoy Peru!
For under $200 you should have plenty of solid options. I have the most experience with Vasque boots and so would recommend St. Elias or the Talus as they're beefy enough to be work boots too.
aren't you biais, you only mention Vasque, what about Salomon, Merrell, Keen, Zamberlan, Diemme, Oboz, Columbia, Lowa, Adidas, Asolo, Scarpa, Danner, La Sportiva, Hanwag, Salewas, Aku,
@@ronanrogers4127 while merrell, salomon and adidas dont really belong. adidas managed to fail even their five ten guide tennie, they last for a couple of seasons nowadays.
It's really hard to list 6 pairs of boots and not really have a single decent one on a screen. None of these would last a month at lofotens, iceland or scotland. Even if they somehow do, you throw them away as soon as membrane gets damaged, as seams gonna leak, unlike real boot like zamberlan vioz or lowa tibet. I guess author experience is limited to a park walks and being total sellout inbetween.
Ya so that question is hell of a lot easier for people who don't need a 1 inch lift for 1 leg and don't need 1 boot to be a bit wider and don't have a fused ankle. Not a single video available on how to find that kind of boot forbthst individual or those individuals.
Homie must think we are all loaded and can spend $200 on a pair of boots. In my 36 years on this planet I have never spent more then $75 for a pair of boots, and I never will...
Your crazy. Ive spent almost 400 on boots, that still sit in my closet. When it comes to the outdoors, Your feet and sleep IMO are the most important. Your feet keep your mobile and your sleep keeps you sane, happy, and comfortable. Try spending extra bucks on some high quality footwear and you will be surprised brother. For me I love Danner Pronghorns. I run high ankles because I'm worried about tripping and breaking something while I'm out, plus the additional snake protection. Happy trails, hopefully you get into some better footies.
Lmao $200 is literally like your standard cost for a decent boot and even those boots aren't the best. Theres boots that sell for $500 but those are handmade and bespoke. Those boots will last your entire life.
Why do you do these videos? You don't push or talk about boots in a positive way. You are about pushing and selling people on the idea that boots are no good and they need some kind of hiking shoes. Why don't you just say it in your title?

Anybody know where I can watch boot reviews where it isn't a paid advertisement?
So can he not make money? This isn't a commercial lol

Great work, I’m excited to implement these tips.

lol umm... no. i have had higher boots prevent ankles rolls hundreds of times.
Ty! Going to Yellowstone to work. Gonna be doing a lot of hiking ! And this is gonna help buy my first pair of boots.
Right on!
At 5:08 he throws the shoes on the ground and talks about them while they're off camera. Wut?
They were sandals.

Keen , oboz or Merrill
How am I supposed to test hiking boots before I buy them?????
Either you're sponsored by Vasque shoes or you really, really like Vasque boots and shoes.

@@BackpackingTV breathable is more important. During monsoon season I can always bring sandals or my trail shoes to cross
What do you think about the oboz Bridger I’m a bigger guy with wide feet. Want a good quality comfortable durable hiking boot that will last awhile.
Oboz fits pretty narrow. If you want a boot that lasts a long time, for wider feet, check out Danner, Lowa, Hanwag.
Thanks for sharing these informations :) so many boots around, great to know more...
17k views and only 10 comments.. interesting..

Werry interesting indeed

That sounds like fun!
love Helaconia productions. started with the Ken Whiting kayak series.
I'll be going up State new York as a camp counselor. Any good recommendations under $200? A pair that I can also use as a work boot in the future...

Good vid!
Good overview, but no screen text with boot info.
Has anyone ever hiked the entire PCT/CDT in Danner Mtn Lights?
Great information. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome!

You forgot about Meindl. They’re right at the top.

Tell me your sponsored by vasque without telling me your sponsored by vasque…
He told you he was sponsored by Vask In the opening statement. Lol
Breathability is overrated. Just take a break every 50min of hiking and swap out the socks
hmm. that is an option
Here I am in 2024. Ha.
Unfortunately this is just an ad for a boot brand not much useful info
Just using the boots I have!
