I came to A.B.C. Outdoors for their selection of LA Sportiva Trekking Boots. Was traveling in warm weather countries before and didn't expect to make a trek but found myself a short flight away from Kathmandu with an insatiable desire to be trekking. Long story short, I decided to do Everest Three Passes and spent a few days going between the highest rated trekking stores before finding ABC.
I have a large and wide foot (normally 47 extra wide) and found most shops in Kathmandu didn't stock over a 45. ABC had the perfect boot for me, TX5-GTX which proved itself on my solo trek with no porter or guide.
