I looked for suitable summer shoes for the hills, I have winter ones. Last year's low Alpines I completely destroyed. Wanted to buy the same, but they have a different last and didn't fit right. I checked the Iglus they had in my size at all. Already thought I wouldn't get anything. Then I asked the seller to check what else suitable he has for me. And he found one La Sportiva model mid-height. And look, they fit me. Not even too expensive. Weren't discounted. Now I've walked in them three days, descents and ascents. Performed excellently. Not making an ad. Want to say it's worth asking a bit more when in the store and not give up too quickly.

Looks like they handle water well too. (pic.1)

When I hike in the wet I'll tell you. Seller assured me they have waterproof coating. Otherwise wouldn't take them. Some low ones fit perfectly, very comfy, but he advised against because for dry weather only. Don't withstand moisture.

You've climbed high enough from the lake, so no worry about water.

@darinka4 The seller advised me against exactly those boots because supposedly only for rock, on grass they slip a lot... Report how they perform off rocks. Can't rely on sellers, they've advised me wrong many times

Had them twice on three-day tours in high mountains. Didn't slip. Were totally fine.

I'd like to see someone write about their own boots that they're not good...

Mine somehow deformed (twisted inwards) on the toes where the protective rubber is glued, the left boot. On the right one the seams on the heel gave way.
After about 6 months.
Otherwise very comfortable and good grip.

Hi.
This time I decided to switch from one Slovenian company to another..from Alpina to Planika. Since I've got a longer hike on Sunday, time to get into action right away. Can someone tell me where the Planika store is in Kranj? But not Intersport, Pami, Mass or something like that, only the Planika store interests me! 
Thanks and best regards

New boots are not suitable for a longer hike.
Planika Turnišče in Kranj does not have its own store.

There's still some time until Sunday, so they'll get used to my feet by then. First on Wednesday, then on Friday too, when I test them on the way to Kriška gora and Jerebikovec. They definitely seem perfect for me from what I've seen and the current feel on my feet. Looking forward to interesting hikes with them

I'm interested in your experiences, which boots do you recommend more, SALOMON QUEST 4D GTX or ALPINA NEPAL?
Thanks for the help

Alpina Nepal are more robust, heavier and more durable. Generally for somewhat more demanding hikes. But it's also a bit a matter of habit or feel. I use Alpina Tibet (somewhat lighter than Nepal) in dry conditions regardless of terrain, from easy to ZZ paths, as well as off-trail. But not every boot fits every foot, so it's definitely worth trying first.

The purchase of hiking boots doesn't start with browsing brands and looking for the one we like. In that case, the user buys something that doesn't suit them in use nor fits the foot. The brand is fine, but that's how you don't buy hiking boots, but town shoes.
About how to systematically approach buying the right hiking boot. Which type to choose, what properties a good hiking boot must have and how to test so that the hiking boot is the right shape and size, read in Hiking Boots: How to Choose the Right Ones?

In reality, this is a bit overmystified. If you buy something that's at least roughly right and fits your foot at least roughly, you won't go too wrong. Some will be more comfy, others less, some you'll curse a bit, but all will do their job. And in the end, after the hike over a beer, you'll quickly forget those swear words...

Many have trouble with heel lift in hiking boots. Due to foot shape or deformation they can't get the right ones at all. The solution to prevent heel lift in hiking boots is a different lacing method. Likewise a different lacing method can improve leg circulation (for those who get pins and needles in boots) and prevent pressure on the top of the foot. Lacing info and additional sources in the post Hiking Boots: How to Lace Them Better

Who in Slovenia takes on making mountaineering or hiking boots to measure. For one it's commercial, for the other it's not possible. Orthopedic shoemakers via ZZZS can hardly make an ordinary shoe average, let alone good. And with those boots in the hills I look similar to as if I would go in Crocs.
