Scotch-a-Go-Go Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 Gotta agree; Makalus do suck! Came back to the Cascades a couple years ago and burned up White Horse in what I thought were nice boots for it. After around 15 minutes in wet snow my feet were soaking. Swore never again in anything but plastic. Plus after that they just started to deteriorate. Eyelets popping off, scree-cuff disintegrating. Real expensive pieces of junk. So my question is how water-proof are these gore-tex boots? Better than plastic? So this is where people say PAGE TOP!!!????

rbw1966 Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 I've climbed extensively in the Cascades, Ecuador and eastern europe in my makalus. Bought 'em in '95 or thereabouts. Still going strong for me. I treated them once with nikwax when my feet got wet. Haven't had to retreat them since then. YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
