I'm looking at getting a pair of Bates Aston boots. My other choice is Bates Escalante. Anyone have experience with either one of these ???

The story about soaking boots overnight and then walking until they are dry is true. I had a pair of Vibergs (excellent boot) that were too stiff and hurt to walk. A night soaking and a three hour walk and they were perfect. That was sixteen years ago, I've hunted all over BC with them, resoled them and they are still going. I can't imagine the miles they have walked.

Thanks for the replies by the way
