Best boots I’ve had the beat the red bands hands down.
A great lightweight pair of boots. Have worn really well in tough conditions through the yards, especially considering I haven't taken the best care of them. Still going strong after a year with the rand completely in tact still. I don't use on the hill a lot as they are slightly too big for my womans foot but are definitely lightweight and comfortable.
I work on the rescue helicopter and have so far done two operational winches in the boots ,with a significant tramp/ scamper in the bush. They were fantastic and no worries clambering in and out of streams.
Boot was an absolute rippa perfect fitting and does the hard yards yew!
I was looking for a pair of hunting boots for a hill country hunt i had planed and came across the Explorer boot after a google search and well i have to say I was pretty impressed with the over all look and comfort of these boots,I walk around the hills over a weekend and no sore feet or blisters super soft soles and plenty of grip on wet ground,there available in half sizes which is a bonus build quality is up there with more expensive brands ,I recommend you check these boots out if your in the market for a up grade
