Entry level arb boots

[ClimbingTN]

I know it’s a personal choice with boots. I rarely use gaffs because most of my work is pruning. I have my wolverines for spikes or ground work. I’m probably on my 6th pair. Anyway I’m going to need new work/rec climbing boots. I’m currently using Merrill hiking boots. I’m wondering what an entry level arb boots would be or something comparable that’s not pricey. I don’t want a stiff boot. What ya got!

Lowa Renegade, bulletproof midlevel hiking boot, narrow profile and stiffish sole. Good for daily climbing and typical tree work. Comfortable like Keen but 5x more durable.
