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

You really need at least two pairs. One dry pair to put on each morning while the other dries out. Gaiters are essential to keep the snow out. I usually wear a hiking boot in the early season and a higher hunting boot after the snow stays. Pack boots if it's really cold and traveling by snow machine. Current favorite hunting boot is Rocky: https://www.rockyboots.com/stalker/...ade-in-the-usa-outdoor-boot/RKS0499.htmlBeen wearing Rocky's for last 20 years.

Thanks UncleAlps. Plan on getting gaiters. Think I'll do a 1000 gram thinsulate pac type boot from Kennetrek or Schnees? Have some hikers but need something for cold and snow.
