Joop Boots

Postby nordicjw » Feb 27, 2006 1:57 pm

I know this isn't really a new topic, but I thought that this way it would get more attention. I'm really interested in these boots. It appears from the posts that a number of :caver: s have purchased them in the past several months. Are you still happy with them, any shortcomings? :woohoo: or :hairpull:

Some day (soon) I hope to get a pair.

Still happy with them, just make sure when you send Mr. Joop the outline of your foot that he includes enough space for thick socks. The boots come in European sizes.

I got mine last week. I will probably be able to test them out this week.

I just used some Dr. Scholl's gel pads with arch support. I think arch support is probably the main thing. I'm looking for some better ones, any suggestions?

A friend of mine who has joop boots suggested polypro sock liners under wool socks for the the best protection against the sweaty foot factor.

'Tis true, but SuperFeet aren't SuperCheap! I was hoping to find something worth buying but under $20
