Hello there,
This is yet another footwear post. Apologies if it has been covered already.
Looking to acquire a good all-rounder shoe or boot for: scrambles, non-winter mountains, approaches, via Ferraratas, ridge scrambles etc.
I currently use:
- a leather hiking boot for all year hiking (can't climb as the sole is too soft and slippery)
- a B3 which I use for winter stuff and happily wear for wet weather scrambles. Nice stiff sole (too heavy and warm for good weather mountain days, not great for long walk-ins)
- a rock shoe for rock climbs
So I guess I should get a light approach shoe for good weather and in addition a boot for colder/ wetter days. As I don't wanna buy two more sets of shoes, what do you guys recommend as the ideal addition to my lineup? Do you have any specific model in mind that qualifies for the above, is durable and doesn't break the bank?
Many thanks for any recommendations. Mattia
