In this video I look at my pair of PMS by Stellina boots and describe "Why I Hike Heritage." Heritage. Boots. Italian. Vintage. Hiking. Backpacking. Outdoors.
A good summary and I pretty much agree. However, you can buy brand new modern boots that match these with some improvements .For example Hanwag, a family run German business who have been making hiking boots for 100 years have some superb boots. Take a look at the Tatra GTX II's, leather on the outside but Goretex lined, these boots are superb and can last a lifetime (Because they can be re-soled by Hanwag, a service they offer). I had a pair of Hanwag Special Forces whilst I was in the military, I had them for 10 years and only threw them out because the soles wore out (I forgot about the sole replacement service), which was a big mistake, the boots themselves were still in incredible condition, and incredibly comfortable, lesson learned....
THANK YOU for making this follow up video! Those are certainly getting a workout. I noticed the same thing about comfort with my vintage Vasque boots fro 1976. Extremely comfortable to wear and to walk in. I just bought a pair of Merrell MOAB 2 Ventilated hiking shoes (low) for walking my border collies. They are supposed to be like slippers on your feet. BS!!! My feet are killing me after only 2 hours of wear. Especially the balls of my feet. The leather on your boots finally absorbed all of that wax, and the color lightened up quite a bit. Not the scratched up areas, but the leather higher up on the vamp. It will be interesting to see how those scratches recover. Again...THANKS for this video. Enjoy your boots!!
They don’t makem like that anymore! Best option is to look into a custom boots maker like Nicks or Limmer, or even do a custom pair of Jim Green Razorbacks with a leather lasting board and midsole.
i think they’re similar to danner boots, but there’s many many different heritage hiking boots, jim green, nicks, whites, russel moccasin, those all come to mind i suggest you look more into them
@@sacredsam6046 if you’re asking what i wear, it’s a pair of jim green numzaans, with the lugged sole, they make a lot of other boots as well for very respectable prices.

Bonjour si certains muscles du pied se 'reposent', ils ne travaillent pas surtout ! Et le pied sera faible et sera plus exposé aux blessures. Je marche depuis des années et pas de blessures aux chevilles même avec un sac a dos lourd. Pour les débutants ok mais ils ne se muscler ont jamais bien leurs pieds. Chacun sa façon de voir et de .... marcher. Aucune critique de ma part, juste une façon de voir les choses. Bonne ballade a toi. PS: après avoir chaussez des chaussures lourdes et des légères et basses par la suite, c'est quand même plus agréable, moins fatiguant et de marcher plus longtemps avec des chaussures legeres. Salut ! 🙋
Thank you for the comment! I agree with what you are saying for day to day walking and light hiking. For my especially flat feet if I am going to do a hike longer than a few miles on easy terrain, I have found I need an extremely stiff boot to be comfortable.
Thank you! I also have several other videos on these specific boots if you want to know more about them. Just search 'vintage boots' on my channel and they should come up.

Love my Fabianos! So many reasons for heritage boots! Don’t forget the stiffness is great for snow fields and crampons. Thanks!
hmmm limmer boot will be brand new as well. customs cost me around $1600 tho, 200 is extremely cheap

I appreciate the comment! I have another hike this weekend that I am super excited about. I may even make a video on it.
Reason 4 is always the most important lol. Drip is essential
Absolutely.

can personally vouch for the Razorbacks. Custom ones are obviously better but even the normal ones are great.
Can you buy these online, if so where?
There are many examples on Ebay. Just search ' 'PMS Stellina Hiking Boots' and your size.
