Dru Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I like these shoes - super comfy, climb 5.8 with the laces tightened, can walk in, do Prusik WR and hike out all in one shoe, but the durability is an issue. Had one pair last 1.5 year, newer pair lasted 2 yrs and both are basically Ok for walking around the Smoke Bluffs but unsuitable for longer hiking now (sucked walking down from Chief summit in them on Monday). thinking of getting some Kayland Superguides, if anyone has any experience with the latter pls. comment. Or if newer Mt Masters (ie built in 2003 or 2004) have increased durability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackY Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I think the 03's are better but I'm still testing mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulB Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Does anyone know if the Guide Tennies 5.10 brought back last year are any more durable than the Mt. Masters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawgoddess Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 i was happy to see that the new masters have sewn toe flaps. the ones on my older ones are flapping like crazy - even after trying to glue them down a few times. they obviously knew it was something they had to fix - i think i might have to call warranty on this one!

snoboy Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Try Escape Route in whistler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulB Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Check out these Plenty durable, they got em at Coast Mtn. They got the 'Dru' sole too Climbs well. I looked at those, but Valhalla's were a size too small and Coast's were a size too big. Otherwise I would have bought 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
