How do you transport your fruitboots?

How do ya'll carry your fruit boots to the crag?

Guards? Just put them in the pack and hope they don't poke through? Carry them?

Fruit Boots...nothing fruity about them but the name! Not sure that the purse would be best option...unless, perhaps, it is a leather purse.

I have a buddy that stores all of his sharp stuff in a cordura saddlebag, which seems to work well. If you need something bigger, SECO (www.surveying.com) makes several cordura bags for construction workers that may work.

I am sure someone will be smart enough to turn this last comment into something more than it was intended to be...

Any more ideas? 1 out of 4 isn't too bad. I might just sew something up to put on them. These mothers are sharp

I carry mine on the compression straps on the side of my pack. Pointy side out obviously. It works just fine for me, no fancy crap, just strap em to the outside like regular crampons, there just bulkier.

When im done, i put them in the trunk of my car off my pack so they don't cut anything as stuff shifts around.

Can we please start calling them something else other than fruit boots please.. If enough people start calling them something different, eventually it will catch on.

Anyone got good ideas?

Better than fruit boots.....

When people ask me what they are I say ice climbing comp. boots... But then I get the question "oh so your like a professional ice climber whats your name?!?!?!?!?!" ...

In a basket?

use a piece of dense styrofoam pad on the points, then shove in a canvas tote bag. Wrap it up in your luggage then.

you silly Casket climber...

Good Call!!! Those will work great for these:

ethafoam or mincell foam lasts and does not brake or split like rigid/dense/hard foams
ask a kayak shop - Duluth ski hut gets boats every year with pillars of foam to protect deck collapse during shipping
I flew ice tools and crampons many times with no pack damage

I don't know about that. Look kind of fruity to me. Especially the ones with the dragons on them. Seen that Miller commercial???

Knew this would be a flamefest the moment I saw the thread...Thanks (and sorry) Zach!

I just wear mine to the crag.

2 actually useful posts so far, not bad.

@ Blake - Thanks for the tip.

Also, I got these boots because the design matches my silky button up dragon shirts. But seriously, you can't be picky when you get a great deal on high end boots.

Well they look pretty fruity to me

I think anyone who would wear a pair of those boots prolly has 3 or 4 man purses hanging around so just grab one to use this will keep ya from poking yourself in the Mangina during transport

And we all look really manly prancing around the gym in our purple ballet slippers?

If the OP likes his fruit boots, what do you care?

If you're about to post in this thread, might as well re-read the topic...
