This 40 meters dash in hiking boots was my fourth dash training on track this year. I filmed all but one, but I get assaulted by strangers and hesitate to show everything. The 40 meters line is just visible, it is really the 60 meters mark. The start position is really the 100 meters mark. I owned these hiking boots for 10 years so I thought it would be nice to show a performance in them. The brand is Northbrook and they cost me 500 SEK, medium price for shoes, cheap for boots. The leather held all the way, and with a transparent creme they withstood water and wet snow well. Finally, after I reached over110 kilo bodyweight, the heels broke. First, the actual sole material (soft rubber) lost it's structure, so it got even softer, then one heel broke through. After making this video though, the soles lost their softness and apparently they still function. This was my only race in them, and the thighs were sore for days. Running in boots was like having weight collars on the ankles, it felt like not going anywhere.
