hey everyone,
so as i said in my last and first post, i have a couple of questions.
I hike a lot in the summer in the Alps, but this year im going to treat myself and go hiking
with a couple of friends in la Gran Sabana in Venezuela, this summer, apparently it rains alot, and we are going to walk under waterfalls, and go through rivers, (sounds exciting right??)
and i wanted some advice,
the tour guides told us to get waterproofs boots, and I really dont know where to get them,because usually waterproof shoes,are just rain proof, not waterfall proof if you know what i mean :)
I found some hiking boots here

and here

I wanted to know what you thought about them..
Do you have any other websitesyou can recomend me? or a brand of shoes?
thanks a lot everyone!
