Extreme Outfitters – OTB Boots Sale
Saturday, January 25th, 2014OR – 5.10
Friday, January 24th, 2014
The number approach shoe gets better. 5.10 is launching an Updated Guide Tennie in February. It features deeper, wider lugs and a stiffer midsole. It’s now even better for climbing but still a hiker and now, it’s also available in a mid-top height.
5.10 has also just made a major upgrade the Camp 4. Although it’s lighter than the older model, it features a completely new outsole. Some of the weightless is due to a reduction in foam meaning it will also dry faster. Like the Guide Tennie, the Camp 4 is now also offered in a mid-top height.
Finally, the popular Water Tennie continues to be a dominant watershoe. And, I believe it’s the only trade compliant water shoe on the market. And I know it’s the only one with sticky rubber.
OR – Sorel Launches New XT Collection
Thursday, January 23rd, 2014If you’ve been issued Sorel cold weather boots, it’s quite likely the -40 Deg F Conquest which is a class IC Sorel design and great for active outdoor use. The British Tan color has been around for quite awhile but the new Boulder on the Left caught my eye with its Grey hue.
Now, Sorel has unveiled the XT line for fall 2014. It incorporates 6 boots for a variety of application. There are separate boots for cold-wet and cold-dry applications. They range in capability from -40 Deg F to an amazing -100 Deg F. For me the ultimate is the Intrepid Explorer with a 12mm EVA midsole in addition to a removable 15mm Sorel Meltdown midsole.
The models are (l-r)
Intrepid Explorer XT -100 Deg F
Glacier XT XT -100 Deg F
Alpha Pac XT -60 Deg F
Caribou XT -40 Deg F
Conquest -40 Deg F
Not Show Bear XT -60 Deg f

Friday, January 17th, 2014Under Armour has completely resigned the Valsetz boot from top to bottom and call it the Valsetz RTS (Redesigned Tactical Shoe).
