Lowas have always served me well. Very waterproof. Salomon boots are solid too, very light weight but some models aren’t waterproofFellas, I need to find a nice pair of Fall/Winter boots that I can romp through the woods with and would love your input. "Real world" reviews only if you reference a specific model, but general "I like this brand..." comments are welcome.
Note these are going to be "Indiana" boots...not something I'm taking to K2, the Everglades or the Mojave desert. Ideally I'd like a waterproof boot, plus it should be comfortable to spend time in when walking "man's best friend". Think state parks and/or local parks with tall grass and some trails.
I was going to get some generic "duck boots" but don't know how comfortable those would be when hiking for a couple of miles. Last pair I had cracked alot. No wonder LS Ayres when out of business!
Was thinking Cabela's and REI would be my best bet here in the greater-Indy area. I currently have a pair of low-cut Keen shoes that are not waterproof. I'd like to think I can get the job done for < $200, but would prefer to pay less.
Am I writing off duck boots too soon? Or should I find some high-top Keen's? Or throw caution to the wind and get some Salomon's?
Thanks in advance for your input!
