[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1495649, member: 4809"] I have never been disappointed when buying true quality. Any high end boot is generally worth the price - kind of like buying swarovski or leica glass. Lowa, Crispi, Kenetrek (and others) are top end with each offering something a little different. My feet prefer the Kenetrek ME. I chuck whatever insole comes with the boot and add a pair of superfeet, copper johns, etc. If the prices are a bit of a stretch, try the Meindel offered by Cabelas. A low end option would be the MCB (mountain combat boot) offered by Belleville. These are my 'beater' boots I wear when kicking around in the rocky desert where I live. You can usually find "new without box' MCB's on eBay for $70 - $100. As far as socks, I guess I am old school. When expecting heavy hiking, I wear a thin nylon sock to avoid creating hot spots. Then I have either a medium wool or thick cotton sock over the - depending on hot or cold weather. [/QUOTE]
