5.10 SAR's 13 years 4 months ago #31971

Does anyone own a pair of these?

Just want to get a reference to perhaps another shoe manufacturer for sizing as I'd have to order without trying it on... Thanks! :lol:

I Have a pair and they are sweet! Had a pair of the canyoneer before but these are significantly better. The toe cap is awesome you can kick anything and drop heavy stuff on your feat no worries. I have a pair the same as my normal shoe size, which is perfect for wearing a light neoprene sock (these have zero insulation), or cotton sock when its hot. I would personally need at least 1+ size up to get my drysuit feet in there (I have the DD which has very thick socks, i bet a kokatat would be easier, but still a whole size up i bet). The thing with these is that they are huge! I have only used them canoeing and rafting where that isnt an issue. Getting them in anything but a massive creeker will be a challenge esp since youll have a size up or more. The sole is so burly it dosent flex a lot so youll most likely need to do some shaving to your front centre pillar, and i would guess if you have longlegs and big feet youll be very tight. Im thinking about getting another pair 2 sizes up for wearing with my drysuit, gona wait to see how much room i have in my new boat when it comes (stomper 90) also i used mine on a 40 day expd in australia and a 15 day in utah and they performed very well still in good cond.

so
hot summer boating: normal shoe size
thick dry suit and socks: 1.5-2.5 sizes up

Thanks for the detailed reply! I'm 6' but have relatively short legs and my feet aren't too big. You wouldn't happen to have worn any Salomon shoes? :) That would be the ideal reference for me :) A mate of mine has the canyoneer and after seeing how he sticks to rocks while scouting I decided I had to get a pair. Normal shoes tend to slip all over the place.. Thanks again for the info, much appreciated :grin:
