Winter boots

[Backpack Jack]

I'm looking for some winter boots that wont break the bank, be able to use with my snow shoes, amd keep my feet warm and dry, any suggestions

[BlackHatGuy]

What size?

[Backpack Jack]

My every day boots are Danners and I have to wear a size 12 U.S. so I can fit my orthodics in side. I tried on some Tamiks, I think thats what they were called, today and I had to go to a size 13. I also tried on some Columbia boots and the 13's were a bit to small.

Ah. Sorry, can't help. I have some winter 9s, a wee bit too small for you!

Doug,

I think Jack is asking for suggestions on winter boots you have used, so if you have some in size 9 or whatever, let him know your experience with them…

Thanks Ben. I'll be using my Goose Feet next weekend then I'll ship them to you for more stuffing HA! stuffing for my Goose Feet around Thanksgiving That's funny!

Keen "Summit County" – On sale this weekend at REI for just over $100.00.

I have a pair of Keen Growlers and have found them great for general winter use in temps down to at least -10F (with thick wool socks and liners) – probably lower in fact, although not for long stretches. I suppose I could push them farther by adding a VBL layer. They work great with my snowshoes (Northern Lite Elites), and they've received good reviews here by others as well. Salomon Tundras also got a great review on this site – they are quite a bit warmer, so depends on your application.

David are these what you had when we went snow hiking last time?

[David Lutz]

Yup…..
