Thanks Vic,
I usually fit up a knee brace when I go bush. Both knees are crook, but I had a torn meniscus repaired in the left one some time back and still get a reminder from time to time. I guess jumping out of helicopters back in the old days is catching up.
My Scarpa's are great since the repair, and I could probably forego the high top idea because ankle support is what counts most. Living in Northern NSW means it get pretty hot in the bush at times. There's some boots at the Cabella store at Tullamarine that look good called "Barefoot Boots", know anyone who's tried them?
