I'm heading off to the Indo/Nepal border in a few weeks time to do a bit of fishing and rafting. I know it's tough but someone's got to do it. We're organising and paying our own way so it's not an all-expenses jolly-up.
Clearly I'll be spending a fair bit of time up to my whatsits in water, some of the time in the dark, mostly over rocky terrain.
It is obviously vital to protect your feet and ankles from cuts and worse. Chesties are not an option. Trainers are far from ideal and don't protect the ankles. I need a lace-up boot of some kind that can be worn in and out of water that will stand up to a fair bit of hammer. As I'll be wearing them for umpteen days in a row they have to be comfortable as well as durable.
Can anyone offer some serious practical advice, please?
