But they're normies who avoid anything that would be dangerous or otherwise extremely uncomfortable
Like fording rivers or some shit
I might be alone in this experience, but the American made Keene boots (specifically the durands) have proven to be extremely versatile in inclimate weather hot and cold.
I've always had better experiences with getting wet feet sooner into the 2 day rain storm then drying within an hour of it letting off than getting soaked feet half a day in and then needing to strip the boot off and dry it for 2 hours
Salos are based but I've gone through the speedlaces twice already and it's not like I do anything really hard either
hm
I haven't heard good things about the speed laces yeah
They're great until they wear out
@Smart Car Driveby actually yeah, it took forever for my goretex boots to dry after I had been stuck out in the rain last time I was in Florida
like it was bad and they smelled rank for a while afterwards
Because for water to move through goretex it has to be water vapor basically
Which means heat
Liquid water doesn't move through goretex
I fucking swear by durands, but they are a bit heavier then I'd like
So liquid water in a goretex boot stays there
yeah I had to go through and fucking use a hair dryer
just so I could use it the next day
That's the eternal downside to goretex boots
w2c goretex katana boots
That and I find it traps heat more than hot weather boots but that's probably also because hot weather boots are specifically designed to make heat fuck off as much as possible
makes sense
I only use AR500™️ sabatons and greaves when I hike
Do they have truck bed liner too?
Naturally
I don't like goretex boots at all
@5W weigh in on goretex boots
He doesn't like them either
I know
I agree with you on their uses in cold weather and you have a lot more experience than anyone here with that
Just wanted to know some reasons why
Well wet cold just sucks in general but it's impossible to use dry weather boots there. Snow gets on your boot it melts if the water gets in you're not having a fun time
Problem solved hahahaha
Yeah and like you said overboots seem shitty to use
I think kyu said waterproof sock which is like
mega shit
yngsr said something about sealskin socks
overboots like neos are fine just unreasonable
I've never used them
wack, there are socks that aren't like plastic tier?
