I mostly wear Lowa's now. on both sides of our state. One uninsulated pair and on 400gram pair does it.
For several years I used Danner elk hunters in insulated and uninsulated form. They were good in the East but pretty worthless in the leaves and mud of the West coast where I wore Danner Lights.
I’m with you on the wet side. I had wet and cold feet all the time and would blow the inside seams out of the Rain Forests in short order. I never got to try the Lowa’s
