I love how ESG-conscious climbers are raving about the price and utility of their cheap boots made from oil-industry by-products, manufactured by SE Asian labour working under opaque labour terms and conditions. Not a criticism, just an observation.
Do people not own walking boots any more?

These seem popular.
Also did a long snowy hike in a pair of these ESG Decathlon booties today. Second season with them, feet remained warm and dry throughout.

Fuck off Pete, it was barely amusing the first time.
