What boot you buy depends only on your wishes and needs. Whether really just to Šmarna gora, or also more.

Which part did you become? Good thing you have your own shoes (not Alpina); otherwise, each would have to go with one lest then our little feet would freeze.

@dare29:
good boots, the price as well. According to the principle "every beggar his own ..." I'll answer you: I have Meindl Super Crack - sewn on top, only the sole is glued below. They need more maintenance / greasing with creams and impregnation. They are quite heavy but that weight proves especially good / excellent on descents on scree when you don't know how and where to step so that the foot is stable on "variable" terrain

Lately I'm getting more into hiking and sadly my excellent Planika hiking boots started falling apart at the sole, as they already have over ten years on their back. So now I'm looking for something new. My terrain is mostly hills and lower mountains. It would be great if the boot is suitable for some serious tour, say Triglav. Of course in summer. What brands do you recommend? I know I have to go to the store and seriously test the boot before buying.

Hard to say buy this brand, because what fits one doesn't fit another. Try as many different boots from different makers as possible. And take time in the store.
If you've worn Planika so far and been satisfied, just stick with it. They're praising it lately.

That's clear to me, it's hard to recommend a specific brand. I'm interested in which are those brands worth looking at. That make quality, comfortable and durable boots? I'm interested where to find a store with Planika boots? I had my Planika boots for over ten years, so I'm really impressed with the quality, but sadly I don't know if they kept it.

Thanks. I completely overlooked it. Today I'm going to Alpina and Borovo.

Here, St. Nicholas, Santa Claus, Grandfather Frost and Befana brought a La Sportiva TRANGO TREK MICRO EVO GTX boot for 185 euros. Top notch, nothing more - at least for light hiking "boots". First experiences are as follows. The last or sole is narrow. Much narrower than Alpina, which suits me better (maybe also because I have slight flat feet). Otherwise I'm a bit worried, after 1-2 hours of downhill walking I feel a hot little toe, first sign of a blister! The toe of the boot really looks quite narrow...

So, I was at Alpina and Pekot, where they had Planika. Alpina boots kinda didn't fit me or pinched me. Then tried Planika, first the Mangart AVS model, which fit the foot well, but the stiffness maybe bothered me a bit, as I'm not used to it. Then tried the Trenta model too, really soft and nice on the foot. I mostly hike hills, so Trenta seems most suitable. But I'm drawn to mountains too (in summer I want to go to Triglav and other peaks), so which is better, Mangart. Definitely more walking on various hills....
What would you recommend in my case?

Trenta will be fine for both.

Maja, thanks for detailed answer. I completely agree with your writing. Sadly, only on terrain you see if you decided right. You need some experience and feel of various boots for that. Yesterday at home I did small inventory and found another same Planika boots from father, but he doesn't need them. Same model I had before they failed me. So probably wait with purchase or wear these.

I'm deciding on buying La Sportiva Karakorum. From next week prices should drop from 269 to 220 euros. In this range seems one of better boots to me.

Well, you're absolutely right... Unforgettable climbing pleasures I experienced with them

| capraibex4. 01. 2012 12:30:00 |
The decision is right, I hoped you'd confirm it JusAvgustin, given your hill mileage you probably know best.

Can someone who has tested or used Alpina Lhotse boots tell how they feel in warmer months? Yesterday I tried them in the store and I was impressed by their comfort and flexibility, but after 10-15 minutes my feet were extremely hot. Is it an exclusively winter boot?
