The Softstar Phoenix is a fully lined high quality sheepskin boot with a side zipper for easy on and off. Not only do they make the boots they will also put on the extra thick sole that I require at the factory.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Put a warm liner inside a waterproof overshoe and you’ve got yourself warmth, traction, and waterproof-ness (just keep an eye out for the flat options). They do run small, especially if you have wide feet (and I would skip entirely if you have extra wide feet).None of the Steger models come waterproof, so I also bought their waterproof spray and treated my boots before wearing them.

I have always worn shoes up to now, but won't bore you with my reasons for wanting to try boots… it's medical.

That said, when moving fast in hot weather one can very easily overload the membrain, pumping out more moisture through your feet than can get out – that means sweaty feet. Also is not reasonable in all circumstances since adding/removing layers should be done for reasons other than fitting. So a with pair of highly breathable shoes and the right socks, I don't have any foot problems with wet feet. The boot liners are closer to the toes so the cold water is closer too which means they are not as warm.

Most of my time is spent sitting in a blind with very little activity which produces less perspiration than tracking deer. I was a boot fitter for a good few years, and I'm also a very heavy hiker (bushwhacks, acidic marsh water, etc. I think it was Colin Fletcher who said that he felt sorry for folk who weren't hypochondriacs, they didn't know what pleasures they were missing out on! Can't comment on the the army boot liners but I have the sealskinz socks and they are excellent , top piece of kit . Even when new, and the Goretex is doing its job, there's a tendency for the water to soak through the outer, meet the Goretex, wick up to the top of the boot, and then down the inside.Because “barefoot” brands design with thin, flexible soles for enhanced ground feel this can actually work against having any sort of harness system over your boot. then wait about 15 more years, until some new developments come through, which will be super-lightweight, highly-breathable, totally-waterproof, and amazingly-durable, because at the moment, it's pie-in-the-sky.

I also wear them with leg warmers because they are wide in the heel and ankle area so my foot moves around a lot if I don’t (especially now that mine are very worn in). Depending on how much extra space you have inside your boots, liners can really increase their warmth. The reference to the double wide is because that is the widest option for extra wide feet (and what Samantha, contributing author, wears in Stegers). You mentioned you have the size 7 wide but at the end of the article you mention you have it in double wide. I’m partial to Merrells because they were the first brand I found to figure out the bottom of the human foot is not flat.Especially in shoes where the water-resistance relies mainly/only on the GoreTex layer, such as in lightweight fabric trekking shoes. Both the Be Lenka winter boots and the Xero Alpine look good for our cold (sometimes subzero) and often snowy Chicago winters, but I’m wondering, what about waterproofing on the Alpines? Here are the absolute warmest barefoot winter boots that are zero drop, flexible and even have ground feel to keep your feet healthy AND protected.
