We don't get lots of snow here so it's rare I'd ever be in more than a foot of snow (unless I went on a trip to the Appalachains perhaps). We often have fairly wet snow.
For summer hiking I use generic trail runners. I've not tried hiking in winter yet so I just have my everyday Ecco Track II boots (w/ Goretex). They seem like they'd be OK warmth wise, but I suspect my feet would sweat if I was really hiking much.
I don't think my trail runners would work as I'd need a bigger pair to fit a second sock, VB sock, or whatever to keep my feet dry. Plus I'd have the added pain of keeping them from freezing solid at night. Not that big a deal perhaps, but I like simple.
What are your thoughts/experiences?
