Scarpa Attack
In recent years I've been focusing on classic construction shoes/boots featuring fully-welted soles and leather lining, but I thought I'd take a few pics of my old friends.
Scarpa Attacks.

These shoes have been through a lot. They've easily done over 1000km, and have been through China, Nepal, the Flinders Ranges, the Grampians, Wilson's Promontory, the Errinundra Plateau, and other places I've forgotten. They've also seen more than their fare of mosh-pits (not what they're designed for).
They're a very comfortable shoe. The lining is not leather (which can kill your feet to break-in), but it is a synthetic paper-cloth which has worked really well and was instantly comfortable when I first got the boots.
I use to put a lot of sno-seal into the leather. For the last couple of years I haven't been using the sno-seal... the shoes have a nice "old" look about them.
The soles have worn down too much now.

They're not comfortable to walk in. I'm going to see if I can get them re-soled, but I doubt that they will be the same again.
