I have to praise Salewa Rapace. I got them purely by chance recently and realized I haven't worn more comfortable ones yet. And I'm already thinking about low Salewa.

Also Salewa Rapace W, weight super, comfortable with single socks.

Light and high boot for narrow foot is also Lowa Renegade, really for every terrain and even the most sensitive foot. They are narrow, but you still need to try them on.

hey.. wondering if there's any larger store in Slovenia with Meindl gojzdarji? I've been to quite a few stores, tried lots of gojzdarjev, and Meindl suited me best, but no size..
Regards

Meindls were sometimes stocked at Giga Sport and Pohodnik at BTC. If you know which model you'd want and what size you need and can't get it in Slovenia at all, you still have online purchase (or visit a store in Italy/Austria)

I'm aiming for a model with a notch for semi-automatic crampons ..Salewa too narrow for me, Lowa also not good ..maybe La Sportiva - but hesitating a bit, Alpina only from 40 up, Kayland worn so far but not too good..Meindl were really ''perfect fit''  ..will browse internet more, hope to get something soon.. thanks for info

A little thing
Maybe try Scarpa too? Felt some models wider than Sportiva. I think they have them at Annapurna in Ljubljana, probably elsewhere too. Oh, another alternative; don't know from which part of Slovenia you are, but in Graz there are two well-stocked stores - Northland and Bergfuchs (www.bergfuchs.at). eBay is still an option

I've been trying hiking boots for a couple of days in all stores across Slovenia, and somehow I can't figure out which ones fit me best.
I read forums and hear what all to watch out for, but I (almost) don't feel any of that with any boot.
I have very wide feet, so with none do my toes reach the end (due to width, the size has to be so big that toes always have plenty of room left.)
Heel doesn't slip either if the boot is tight enough.
No rubbing, except maybe a hard boot presses a bit somewhere. But nothing serious.
In short, how the heck to figure out which one is really for me if I find no real critical flaw with any. Don't want to spend €200 and then worry because after a few hours of walking it won't be OK anymore.
Which brands of boots for wide feet?

If you're stuck just because all fit you and you can't continue because you find no problem, better stay home and watch basketball. When the EC ends the season will be over anyway

If you're only trying on boots for 200 EUR, I believe there are no problems with any
When buying boots, always keep in mind that a boot is not a dress shoe True, some boots are already very comfortable. If the boot fits you, it fits, I don't know how it could fit even better?

Above all, it's important what you're using them for. Only in summer or also in winter (possibly with crampons).
When you put them on, walk a bit, try uphill and downhill too (most boot stores have a ramp to test that).
And you don't have to spend 200€...around 120-150 you can get solid ones.
Anyway, if the only problem is that all fit you...don't know if that's a real problem

Has anyone maybe already tried Garmont Tower Plus GTX? Thanks

I'm wondering if anyone on the forum uses or has used Garmont Arizona GTX boots, which were available at Hervis a while ago? I'm interested in experiences, comfort, quality. Thanks.

The boots have proven reliable at least for me. I've been wearing them the whole of this season and a few ascents last year.
Over time they got softer, the sole still does its job very well, just here and there some leather damage.
If they last another season, I'll be very satisfied.
Before that, I had Garmont Tower Lite GTX, but replaced them after two months because they tore at the sole flex.
Regards,
robi

Looking for boots suitable also for winter ascents, meaning compatible with semi-auto or auto crampons. Tried a bunch, Hanwag Ferrata Combi GTX fits my foot best. Does anyone have experiences with them?

In your place I'd look for another Hanwag boot model if thinking of winter ascents too. Especially something warmer.

Just check their site. Omega or Friction models are definitely better for winter.
