Hey mate, cheers for the video. Probably should have watched this before letting my Rangers get to the point they are. Just wondering why the active cream is applied after the sealer? Seems like it should be the other way around?
Good advice Zeb. Bought a pair of Lowa Renegades recently. Lightweight, wide foot and super comfortable - perfect for an old codger like me. First hunt wore them 8 days straight with no break-in and no blisters. Couldn't be happier.

I've been running the Tibet's for a year or two they are a good boot but farrrkkk they are loud/noisy in the bush =Wayyyyyy too rigid for a stalking boot , I will only use them if it's pissin with rain or really windy, The sole I find are a bit stiff for that red rainforest clay we get in vic- very slippery however they do keep your feet dry
Interesting, I hunt in the sister boot, the baffin leather lined, in Utah and vegetation is so sparse in most places that I've never noticed. In the places it's thick it's so scrubby that there's no hope so you just bash though and try to sound like an animal. In my case the stiffness sometimes helps stalking because it makes it easy to walk on top of rocks or to bite hard into gravel without sliding. What you're saying makes sense though.
I've had 2 pairs of Tibet's and now a pair of Highcountry Evos both models have stiff soles but I've never felt like I couldn't stalk an animal because of that. I bow shot a dozen Sambar wearing the Tibet's. Though I will admit that if I needed to get in extra close I took them off and stalked in my socks.

I'm not sure about the science of it, just following the instructions from LOWA.

Do you know if Lowa have these products in a package rather than buying them individually?
It doesn't appear that you can sorry. Maybe I'll suggest it to them 👍
