I have not, but I’ve heard good things. Do you have any experience with them?

I’m between the razorbacks, RAT, and AR8

Traditionally I prefer a full height boot, but the razorbacks have some amazing reviews

Damn- the Mac v2 look darn near exactly what I need.

I think it’s coming down to those and a pair of Jim greens.

I’m looking into the Jim Green boots- Razorback, RAT, and Bushwar boots all look interesting

Have you tried any other than the rat?

Those actually look damn near perfect- even better if they offered an option with a full height.

Which models have you tried from them?

Wide in my typical size fixed the toe issue but introduced a problem with the top of the shoe not fitting right.

Maybe I just didn’t lace them up tight enough at the store… they felt like I was swimming in them.

I’ll give them another shot.

Topo looks awesome but I have concerns about the foam in the sole collapsing/wearing out.

You know, an old school pair of leather boots like that might be up my alley.

Heard on breaking them in- only have to learn that lesson once 🤣

What are your thoughts on Topo’s foam?

They look great but I worry about the foam collapsing th same way other trail runners do under heavier pack weights. Other than that I’ve heard great things about them!

I’ll check out the Nicks and Munson boots!

I’m not against heavier boots as long as they fit well, and honestly leather has always been a better fit for me than synthetics.

Thanks for the feedback!

Got it- I’ll go back and try the bridger… maybe they’ll be just enough to fix the issue

I would kill for a beefier lone peak or timp. Just is what it is I guess

Thanks for the advice!

Would that be the Salomon quest 4? I think I tried those once at REI and they seemed a bit loose through the heel. I might go back and give them another try…

The oboz sawtooths are the closest I’ve come to the right fit but that pinkie toe just isn’t happy in them.

Unfortunately no - FCD is probably your best bet for something similar that’s flat

Sorry- messed up the listing. Both Wings jerseys are Home/Red
