Correct Boot for correct use

I am keen to climb Mt Kilimanjaro and would like to know if the boot Merrell Ridge Gore-tex would be suitable and warm enough.

Regards,

Tony Nienaber

Yes U can with good wool socks. Expect 20°F in the morning at the summit. Eat light & non greasy as the guide will trick U for a 4 days speed ascent to get you AMS asap to get down and statr again with new clients! Good Luck!

PS Bring ur own energy bars and feed yourself at camps with bread and light soup. Get proteins also.
