[Philmont] Boot Question for 2009

24 Year old well used boots? My vote would be get new ones. Boots is
about the only thing you cannot bluff or replace easily on the trail.

The back country trails range from pasture trails that you can use crocs
on to rock accents that you will really appreciate a good set of boots.

Regard,
Frank J

Subject: [Philmont] Boot Question for 2009

I am sitting here looking at my Raichle Rotondos' circa 1985 with all of
their leather craftmanship. On my son's little eletronic scale, one
boot weigh in at 2.7 lbs. They were made, I believe, to accomodate
crampons and the ilke. They are very rugged but a couple of yrs ago the
sole delaminated from and neede to be re-attached.
Aside from that they have the "P Crazy S" brand from a trip to PTC in
2000.

These boot have been very good to me over a few dozen outings, so I am
torn on their use for 2009.

Trying to be thrifty, not sure of backcountry terrain.
