Bohemia Miner Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I'm looking for a pair of light weight and comfortable boots with hiking soles and no metal eyelets or hooks. The key words are Light Weight and Comfortable! Anyone know of any? Thanks! Walt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanursepaul Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Here’s a couple of pairs The Taskmaster and I used in WA... They work a treat We call them 4wd thongs Really easy to get them off when you smashy your big toe 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldseeker5000 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I used to wear these desert tan converse combat boots. They are said to be waterproof outers but my pair always let water in, but I didn't care because your feet dry super fast in them, like within an hour. Ever your socks. I will be buying another pair in the spring because they were super comfy and I think they would probably work well with my bad Achilles tendon. Here are some other Converse models as well. I definitely would not wear these in areas where you have to wear snake guards as they will NOT give your feet any protection against a snake bite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Lunn Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Merrell's and Keen's have worked well for me. You can get either low-cut or high-cut versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wear thongs a lot but the Double-Gees here go right through them and nail them to your feet. They look like they’d do the job 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was given the first pair basically brand new by a bloke who decided they were too uncomfortable. Reasonably comfortable for me but geez do they make my feet sweat! So much so that my feet end up the same colour as what ever sock I was wearing that day due to the dye. also the zip ends do signal on my 7000 but not a problem if you know they are there.

Goldseeker5000 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 You know, now that you mention the sweating thing, I do remember them doing that. At the time I was in the water alot and I just ignore that fact. I'll still get another pair. For me they were super comfortable and had good traction. I wear boots with metal eyelets for years now with pulse and vlf detectors, and as long as you keep your feet away from detector, it's been no issue for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1515Art Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I take my pinpointer to the shoe store when I’m looking for a pair of boots to use metal detecting and always come home with Keene boots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
