Thanks turbo. I've been looking at your shoe for a long time too, but I'm wondering how warm it is and if it's suitable for snowy ground too. I believe this Salomon ques 4d is definitely warmer and better for snowy ground.... Since at this Burgenland extrem on 24 January I can also expect very cold weather and snowy ground....

I also had problems with blisters on my feet, especially after longer hikes, and my friend suggested double socks, but it wasn't any better. Now I wrap the toes that blister most with medical tape (micropore tape) and it works - no more blisters. As for impregnation, just regular cream 48. lp

If during ascents it starts hurting in the area above the heel, there's a good chance the laces are too tight. I suggest: looser upwards and tighter downwards. lp

Hi, please for advice on buying hiking boots or some of your experiences to see what the problem is.
In trail running shoes, specifically I have La sportiva Lycan gtx https://www.sportiva.com/lycan-gtx.html, I can walk hours and hours on any terrain, from high mountain hikes to strolling around the city on a trip, and I don't feel any pain in the soles. They have super grip, are light, in short, I love them. I even have two pairs. 
I also have Alpinine Tibet lady mountaineering boots https://www.alpinashop.si/p2-28-1034/tibet-ladyv-63422?utm=ALPINASPORTS_PRODUCT, which provide super ankle support and generally I feel good in them, but ... they are quite heavy, stiff, grip is much worse (but the rubber doesn't wear like on running ones of course).
The essence of the problem is that after e.g. 10 km of walking in the boots it starts to hurt me (burning pain) in that part of the foot that bends, so where the arch ends and toes begin. Too hard sole of the shoe or what's the problem? My partner has no issues in the same boots. I'd otherwise walk 365/year in my trail running shoes , but for snow and potential crampons really not  , besides I recently managed to twist my ankle, luckily nothing serious, but still I'd like a shoe that gives more ankle support (I doubt elastic strap is enough  ), but at the same time "light", with good grip (that's really very important to me) and suitable for winter too .
Of course everyone has their experiences and favorites among boots and brands, logical. Still asking if anyone had similar issue with sole pain and would be grateful for any idea. Best thanks in advance!

SunnyDay, with your problem I would try changing the inner insole.

SunnyDay, recently I had the same problem with new winter boots, changed the insole to a thicker and softer one and no more issues.

Hello everyone.
I'm about to buy the Alpina Tibet and facing the eternal dilemma. My foot measures 266-268mm.
Can't decide between size 42(270mm) and 42.5(273mm). The 42 are much more comfortable as they grip my foot nicely, but I'm worried that on descent my toes would jam.
With 42.5 I have enough space at toes but feel more clumsy and the heel could be more fixed....
Anyone have advice?
Thanks in advance and best regards.

If I measure the original insole from my Tibet, it's ~270 mm, my foot ~255 mm  (home measurement, not pro ). VLC insole for size adjustment I had to remove, never wear thick socks and still feel super stable  . On descent I tie boots tight (for ascent not to the top), so toes don't jam (but sometimes feel them). I'd definitely take larger ones, esp when foot tired and swells a bit, need more space, material doesn't give at all, esp toes.

Normally during activity muscles start swelling.
If buying boots for easy walk, then size probably no difference. For longer hikes, esp summer, that half size can be welcome. If boot slightly too big, can compensate with sock thickness...

Compensation also possible with insoles.

You didn't say if these are your first hiking boots or what experience you have with hiking shoes, running sneakers etc. I, for example, have exactly the same foot size as you. In recent years I found that a more airy feel at the toes suits me better, so I take a half size larger than before. Alpina boots 43.5, La Sportiva boots 44, La Sportiva sneakers 44.5; Salomon sneakers 44.2/3. I can't imagine having sizes like you mention, they'd pinch me already putting them on, let alone walking or running.

And in case of an accident, when using such footwear you are self-payer, as GRS does not follow ZZZS recommendations.
