In reply to UKC Articles: A great article, but it would be good to see a follow up on proper boot and foot care, too often I see and hear people complaining about perfectly good boots leaking, being bad or uncomfortable boots, purely cause *they* haven't looked after them properly, worn the correct socks or looked after their feet.
These are often people who get out a lot on single trips and think they're doing ok, yet when they come to extended trips in variable conditions, they really start to suffer.
