Where to?

Most of southern Africa is not super demanding. Comfort is #1 for me. Over ankle length. My favorites have been mil surplus jungle type boots. Currently, French or Italian SF boots. Canvas uppers, speed laces, and very comfortable. Many guys hunt RSA in athletic shoes. No mountains to speak of, flatish terrain. I'm not afan of that because of dust and burs and thorns.


These are the French version. I was introduced to them 25 years ago by my PH in Cameroon. He used them and I like them. Zero break in perio,. well WORTH the cheap price and well made.

If you have hilly, mountain terrain, you might go with more ankle support.

Have fun!
