Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Had a quick net browse. Mtn Designs used to sell them, had 2 pair on 2different specials, leather gortex lined things. Any blue mountains or sydney stores sell them anyone know of. I hate shopping and going to shops but would buy local if not arm and a leg more than a net provider.

If you're talking about the Zamberlan Vioz GTX boots I had a look and couldn't see them for sale other than online.
I got a pair in a size 11 that still have plenty of life in them if your interested. Say $150. They scuff up a bit around the toe over time but these have been polished after every hike because I love them so much. I can send you a photo if you like.
I haven't worn them for years due to their weight and I wear waterproof socks now when it's raining but loved these boots for comfort and keeping my feet dry.

Found something similar to what i had the intrepid. The 2 previous pairs lasted really well and while snug handled my wide feet well. Stiff but not to stiff, handled scrambling, heavy pack, swimmi g etc. So poor shops i,m internet buying.
