Hi guys (and gals), I'm relatively new here and have been thoroughly enjoying the sites content and discussion.
With winter coming on it seems many will be switching over to some form of boot from their trail runners and I was wondering if any of you had considered Magnum Hitecs? They've worked well for me so far.

With their tennis shoe like sole they are very comfy, keep you feet insulated from the ground, and they weigh less than many boots I've seen and worn over the years (albeit cheaper ones). My pair weighed in at 51.2 ounces and I've been wearing them almost everyday for a year now (on and off duty). To me they're more comfortable than any sneaker I've had and they've kept my feet nice and comfy when working outside on cold winter nights (that would be around 25 degrees F in these parts) as long as I kept moving and if I added some better sock I'm sure they'd do fine if I stopped for periods of time. I've never had issues with my feet sweating in them except during the summer.
The only issue I can see might be that the soles aren't as stiff as some boots out there but that hasn't caused me any issues.
