Mammut boots

I bought new Zamberlan Vioz GTX boots. These had red, blue, grey and black coloured Vibram soles. On our first back country hike over loose rock and wearing a backpack, the edges of the soles crumbled. I returned the boots. I bought another pair of Zamberlan because they were very comfortable. The sole was less colourful, red, grey and black. On these boots one piece of the sole broke off. I returned the boots to the store and bought Mammut. So far so good.

Mammut reminds me of a Dutch short story written by Maarten 't Hart, Mammoet op Zondag and the Dutch salvage company Mammoet.
