Disclaimer: I'm a 5d MkII user, looking for something with better IQ than an LX3 to use on bushwalking (hiking,tramping,fellwalking etc for other dialects) trips.
I've owned two pairs of hiking boots as an adult.The first pair were Red Wings that I bought in the 1970s when I spent a year in the mountains of Southern California.
Hiking along the purling Lamar River, not far from a den of one of the wolf packs, Ripple walks by a small rise and parts a dense green curtain of booth willows to make a point.
