[QUOTE="Allen, post: 296151, member: 389"] I think the reality is you need a few pairs of boots that fit your feet well AND have their own advantages. I think I own 3 currently, and usually have 4. They are all bought to fill a niche as no single footwear is the "best" at all situations. We have those (my Timberlands) that we like for general wear under normal conditions, but even I go to my Keens when I need waterproof. We haven't even started talking about insulation levels! [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] p.s. My favorite boot of all time is still the USMC's Jungle Boot. Absolutely no waterproofing, but it also had no insulation, steel shank for just the right amount of support (and protection agains bungi sticks), and breather holes for wearing them in the heat. I bet I've had 15 pairs over the years. For dry conditions they are like wearing slippers around the house to me. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] FWIW, I'd like to bitch slap the A-hole who started insulating ordinary warm weather hikers. Douche! [/QUOTE]
