i've a pair of 12" White's Hunters with the Honey Vibram sole. they are a softer, stickier sole and do much better on ice.
it took an all day hike in pouring rain to break them in.
toad,
I have the same boot, and like them for the same reason....they're sticky. I use mine for climbing towers, and they stick to steel really well. They've also lasted longer than any boot I've ever owned. A busy summer would eat a pair of off the shelf Wolverines, Red Wings, etc. I've had these White's for 5 years, I think, and still going strong. The first day I wore them, I thought WTF, these are the most painful boots I've ever had on! After a week or so, I was love'n them! That said, I do not hunt or hike in them. Pretty much just a work boot.
