In lower country I prefer to run knee high Schnees boots. The leather is pretty much bomb proof and no need for extra gaiters.

That said they do not offer great support so if going up and down I switch to mountain boots and gaiters. OR has done just fine for me so far. I would prefer the Schnees if they gave the support needed though.

We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
