Arrow Red Wing or West Coast Shoe

I've a pair of red wing http://redwingshoes.com/ waterproof loggers (#2292) and they're the best boot I've owned. Check wesco for custom boots with almost every imaginable option http://www.westcoastshoe.com/wesco/ Make sure the sole is correct for the conditions.

Good luck,

Chris

I like these boots right here These guys make some great stuff. Of all the hiking boots I've used, these guys made the best I've had, still have. These snow boats ought to make you comfortably, dry, and still standing.

If you still want a nice pair of military boots try these out. They'll leave your feet and blisters frozen, your butt broken, and your feet dry.

With winter boots I think you've got two choices....If you're going to be running around actually doing work, Chippewa's all the way. But if all you have to do is keep your feet really, really, really warm...Sorel, no quesiton about it! They're big, theyre bulky and they're like a sauna on your feet, even when -30F rolls around. Ive also got a pair of insole insulators that I bought at the local workwear store. You trim them to fit inside your boot and they give you a little extra insulation from the cold ground.

My Lacrosse Icemen are 20 years old and warm as toast even at -10. Sorels are as good or better.

I really like my Sorel Glaciers, a very nice pac boot rated at -100. Look at Cabelas for a good deal.

We were talking COLD

69SWB3004X4: I thought we were talking about winter boots . -10 is Spring
time and sneaker weather where I come from . Down to the T shirt by that time .

-28 to -41 is Winter when the Sorel's come out . Keep smiling chum and venture up North some time with those boots .

I'm a big fan of Sorels for really cold weather. Yeah, I grew up up north. Got wise and moved south. Never forgot my Sorels though. Good boots.

FWIW, in the Army I wore Danners with thinsulate/gortex lining. Expensive, but they were good boots too. Issue boots were junk.
