Superlite GTX Hiking Boot, Made by Brasher
Superlite Boot
Superlite GTX is hiking boot that is made by Brasher and I wrote review of all these boots when they were new to me, they are excellent. I dress them couple of times in a week, they are very comfortable, waterproof as well as have held up very well. I can probably wear them for some years to come.
Good boots! I put these on & spent four days hill walking in it immediately without problems. I would not suggest that to some others just because it is not very good though generally, but it worked well for me. I wear it with an medium weight Smart wool socks. They are light & stylish."
Good light boot, comfortable, however I get blisters on heels if laces are not actually tight, or else if I do much roadwork. It might be that I do not have brasher shaped feet. Thorlo rather than the Bridgedale socks appear to help, since shock absorbing pad in footbed. Leather cut-up badly when it is used scrambling & as soaks up water, which is used to pour off, in spite of some coats of the conditioner and still it is 100% waterproof.
The soles have lasted about a 300km of walking & have left. That is used in Brecon Beacons for week without any problems, even off the paths in deep and rough stuff. I can probably keep them for the low level walks & purchase something firmer for the weeklong and high level walks, particularly when I take camping kit.
Great little picker upper of dirt, animal hair on plain and carpeted floors, however it is screamer while it comes to the noise. It gets 4 stars from me.
Good Points
I have walked in cold climates, hot climates, on a rough loose steep dry & wet terrain as well as have given them a treatment. I have also found them comfortable, grip very well. I wear a thick fine quality of socks when I walk & my feet stay at right temperature. In addition, I do not come to know that I am wearing them.
Bad Points
One boot began to click, and I returned them & now have new set of the boots. Good sales service, particularly considering that they are well used.
Boot Materials
Modern hunting boots generally come in two primary materials: fabric, leather, & rubber - all of that has own unique features.
Leather is a most traditional material. Some kinds of leather that are used in boot making: boar hide, cowhide, kangaroo, and so on. Of these, the cowhide is main and is strong. It wears very well and is less costly than the other leathers. Thinking of its price & performance, this is the best boot material in an existence.
Green cowhide is very thick, thus it is split in two layers before tanning. "The top leather" shows grain of an outer skin, it is toughest of two layers. "Split" layer is a bottom, fleshy side & it tans with smooth and suede finish.
