[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 3014323, member: 116439"] I did a LOT of Treking. mountain climbing and hunting in cooler/cold areas like AK, PA, NY and NewFoundland. For a boot to be used in an area that has cold temperatures, Wet areas, rough terrain I require several "must have". [LIST=1] [*]DO THEY FIT!!!! What socks are you going to wear? [*]Weight! How much walking. A few Onces can add up to a ton of combined weight over miles. [*]Water proof! [*]The insulation has to be compatible with the Temp and how much walking. Too much insulation your feet will get hot and sweat then COLD, also more insulation the bulker the boot and heavier. Not enough insulation your feet will get cold. I like a lighter boot with less insulation and I use "Hot Toes" when posting or better yet GOOD Electronic Socks that can be turned on an off. AND Also electronic boot inserts to keep your feet warm. There are some really GREAT technology items for keeping your feet warm without a lot of bulk insulation [*]Ankle Support [*]Arch support [*]Higher tops 12" to 14". [*]Boot Thread - Good traction & self cleaning. [*]I don't really look at the ability to re-manufacture the soles. By the time the soles wear out the rest of the boot is usually wore out unless you use the boots for brakes while riding a motorcycle. [*]COST - Good boots cost $$$$$ [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
