Lathrop and sons new boot
« on: April 11, 2017, 09:48:00 PM »
Lathrop and sons came out with their own boot. The mointain hunter and mountain hunter elite. Talked with Stephen Lathrop about them and I'm looking forward to trying them out. Sounds like they've been working on this for quite a while.
Anyone order them?

I'm waiting on a pair to show up, I'll try and remember to check back in with a review. The customer service is second to none :tup:

I've been thinking about the Cevedale tech lite hunter. Anyone have any experience with these? Love my Lowa Tibet Hi though

I have some hesitations about ordering as they kept pounding their new custom fit kit to try to get extra money out of me.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I bought a pair of the Cevedale tech lite hunters as that is what Lathrops was pressuring me to buy. I can honestly say they have been a huge disappointment. Not only do they leak but they hurt my feet, and I went with Lathrops custom inserts.  The Civedales are just like any other mountaineering boot, heavy and clunky and definitely not the style of boot I like. I believe Lathrops was just trying to unload a huge stock of boots that they had purchased from Lowa.

 :yike: I bought three pairs of their custom foot beds. Huge disappointment. My feet ached like a mother after hiking the alpine lakes with a pack. Put my Dr. Schols work insoles in and they are much better for 1/3 the price

I don't know that the custom fit kit is for everyone but i know it's helped people with abnormal feet.

Did they fit the footbeds or did you?

I trimmed the synergy insoles to fit the bottom of the boot perfectly

I threw a pair of the synergy footbeds in my kenetreks and have really liked em. You have to find what works for you, unfortunately that sometimes means trial and error on some expensive gear :twocents:

I don't think the synergy footbeds are designed for an exact fit in the bottom of the boot. They trimmed the ones for my boot and they are wider than the bottom of the boot in places. Kinda wraps your foot.
