I’ve been using the Solomon 4D gtx since 2012. No nylon boot with a gore bootie will stay dry... it’s a conundrum for sure.
Good boots, though I rarely use them anymore.
What are you using now Brad?
I use gtx 4d’s where snow permits not using a higher boot. No snow I use almost exclusively low tops. Don’t have ankle issues and absolutely think it’s hilarious when people wear hi-tops with a piece of foam for support.
