Aku Cresta GTX Boots
Size 10.5

Gore-tex boots by the Italian boot maker Aku. Used lightly. I really liked these boots, they are very comfortable, offer nice support, and are reasonably light. I'd consider them a nearly perfect early season backpacking boot, except the heel pocket just doesn't quite mesh with the heel of my foot. This is a problem with my foot and 90% of the boots out there. The Aku's came much closer than most, and I put in some effort trying to make them work, really wish they did.

Montrail Mountain Masochist Mid GTX Boots
Size 10.5

These are nice, ultralight Gore-tex boots, more of a waterproof high top runner than a boot proper. I really like the Inov-8's, but mine were wore out so I got these to try out. Fit in the showroom but my dreaded heel started bothering me 2 miles down the trail. If they had 4 miles less I'd just return them. They are good boots (for what they are), I just have super picky heels.

$50 shipped.
