new kevlar boots
In preparation for the climbing that I'm planning with some friends before we launch into full-scale 'launch dinner' and Greenland mode, I've just invested in some brand new mountaineering boots - the amazing AKU Spiders which use kevlar material to make the boots incredibly light at less than a kilo each. Pretty amazing technology and they have the rigidity and insulation to support my feet in the Alps and further afield in the future... Their website is www.aku.it
