walking boots-- which are good?

Geoff Berrow wrote I have had both. I prefer the Goretex lined ones. Very useful when walking through wet grass. Wet grass?! I wouldn't hesitate to wear non-waterproof boots in wet grass, it's hiking in the rain, across streams, and on rough trails with a lot of puddles that you really want boots with a GoreTex (or some other brand) of breathable membrane. There's a good reason why most military infantry boots have a GoreTex membrane, Like hell they do. you don't want to deal with wet feet on a mission. I.e. "http://marketplace.news.yahoo.net/pressrelease.aspx?id=202678". Not that hikers and backpackers have the same needs as the military, but it makes sense to consider all the trade-offs when making a selection. But you mindlessly proclaim that GoreTex or similar is absolutely essential. |
