Hello, does anyone know ANAPURNA shoes from Alpina? How do they perform on the terrain?

Four years ago I bought Asolo hiking boots, namely the Mythos model. It seems almost unbelievable to me that they started coming apart at the sides. Unfortunately it's so and now I'm looking for the same model. Hervis doesn't stock them, other shops don't know them at all. Maybe someone knows or recommends where to get them.
Thanks for answers.

Hi,
To not open a new thread, I'll ask here. Buying gojzarji.
Vertigo High and Contact Rev from Kayland caught my eye. Interested in experiences with this brand, especially shoe quality?

Kayland is a small Italian shoemaker (compared to Scarpa or La Sportiva). Like the just-mentioned brand, and also the Italian Garmont, they have focused at Kayland in the last decade mainly on the American market.
Regarding quality it's the following: To survive on such a saturated and competitive market as the Italian (or target-consumer American) or be successful - which Kayland is - you have to be good! No doubt here.
The Contact model is already a Kayland classic, on the market almost a decade, Vertigo is somewhat younger. They use the Event membrane, which has somewhat better characteristics than the more known Gore-Tex (regarding water repellency, not waterproofness and breathability), Vibram rubber soles... in short, classic mountain boots.
With all this, the last must fit you, which is somewhat narrower than usual (similar to Scarpa e.g., definitely narrower than Garmont, Fitwell or German makers).
The boots are a good value for the price they offer in our shops.
Before you decide to buy - if one of the boots fits you of course - check the seams, how it's glued etc. Namely, with today's mass production you never know - even for such a renowned brand - how it's made.

Thanks for the answer 
Maybe a stupid question. Is there some way to measure yourself whether you have a wide/narrow, high/low foot?

Serg, you can also try it by putting on e.g. Garmont, Millet, Hanwag, Fitwell or Meindl boots, and you'll find out that Lowa, Kayland or Scarpa have quite a narrower last.

Hello,
I'm buying hiking boots for hikes above 1700 m, and I'm interested in what experiences you have who have more sensitive feet (flat feet).
I for example now prefer to use Vibram Fivefingers, because they are the only ones where my foot doesn't burn when hiking uphill and I go with them like a "chamois" , but I think for a bit more serious ascent, so above 1700m, buy something high.
any suggestion?

My personal opinion:
For summer tours it doesn't matter what you have, just gojzarji, winter tours (try and you'll see, just once put on cheap gojzarji).
I have from Alpine for 50 euros, which were discounted.
And for crampons I don't buy various semi-gold jackets, pants and such, why, a windbreaker for some snow is enough, and some shorts for 10 euros, June is here, paths and tours start.
And don't forget poles and helmet for serious ascents.

your personal opinion is completely wrong. no offense.

Well, shoes for 50 euros, shorts and poles and helmet for more serious ascents. Serious ascent usually doesn't allow use of poles. 
Last Friday it was scorching, even in the mountains. On Saturday it snowed, snow that is, a few dozen centimeters. Just right for shorts and cheap windbreaker. 
Anyway, to our highest peak you can get from the valley in summer even naked and barefoot. No joke, just good weather, that's what you need, and it goes. The only problem is where to put those few euros for beer on Kredarica 
Vibram Fivefingers up to 1700m? I think they are suitable even above 2000m. For example Mangart saddle, of course by car up, then walk on grass along the road.

@ljubitelj is right.
The listed gear is actually completely sufficient - for assessing snow conditions in the Kamniks - with the naked eye from home, with which he delighted us and cared for our safety.

@JusAvgustin
That's why I wrote personal opinion, everyone should try themselves and decide, they serve me well, with them I was on Triglav, Grintovec, winter Kamniško sedlo, Prisojnik, Kepa, 7J on Kanjavec, Krn past the lake etc still this year they are like new....for summer hikes really no need for diploma, right, for winter ones as I wrote, you need a lot of gear and not some cheap stuff.
Everyone should decide themselves what to wear....try and see...everyone has their experiences.
Regarding weather, no need to rush when thunderstorms are forecast, I avoid such days.

My personal opinion is that the temperature in the mountains in summer has never dropped to an uncomfortable level for humans and when meteorologists forecast nice, sunny weather, it never happens that it is not so.
With you, I really don't know if you're joking or if you really believe this nonsense you're shooting.

In summer the temperature drops to a very uncomfortable level for humans every single summer several times.
When meteorologists forecast nice sunny weather it often happens that it's not so. In mountains even more than in valleys.
Both checked on own skin during nearly 40 years of "mountaineering practice" and average around 50-60 tours per year. Half winter and half summer, approx.

It's not true that it doesn't matter what you wear in summer. Just at this time quick weather changes are most common; I've experienced them several times, it wasn't the most pleasant and not even forecasted. It's easier in winter, at least regarding clothing. My opinion is I'm not so rich to buy the cheapest nor so poor to buy the worst or cheapest. Usually I buy something medium, better one euro more and quality and for longer time. And I hike in hills, don't dress up so gear lasts quite long, most common is to replace - renew the sole of boots. Turbo and Jus have it right - gear smart, not just by money.

It's good to experience in summer some quick weather change and temperature drop of 15 degrees, like I did on Špik and be poorly equipped. Since then nothing is too much and nothing is too expensive.

Ask Klavdij Mlekuž from Mojstrana what they were picking up on top of Triglav a few years ago on Aug 2 and why. Tough story.
