I had a set of packers made and they are they most comfortable boots I have. I did attend a trade show where their rep measured my feet, so it wasn't a case of ship me a pair of size 10.5.
I learned the hard way that uncushioned, one ends up with pumice dust and pieces after a rough trail. I resorted to taking the rocks out and putting them in a tire chain bag. But got to be a pain. So I went to another type of unit that has no rocks, not as esthetically pleasing but much lighter...
Nice looking fire bowl. What I found with my unit was the location and placement of the pumice stones can really affect the flame.I use a pair of kitchen tongs to arrange the stones while lit.
My comment about use was meant about if one ventures out how many occasions will the recovery gear be needed? If one went out 100 times perhaps 5 maybe 10% of the time. Any more than that your choice of route, equipment and judgement should be rethought.
Good points and realistically how often will the soft ones be used? Over thinking and price chasing are two of the enemy's of a workable solution. FYI be cautious of off shore products
