my old boots don't fit anymore and i need some new ones. so i have narrowed my search down to either irish setter buck trackerkneeboots16"or irish setter deer trackers 9" high both are 1,000 gram Thinsulate. i have never used knee boots before but it seems every year i end up stepping in a stream where the water goes up over my boots and then i have cold feet all day, so i know if i get those i won't have that problum. however i also walk quite a bit and didn't know how comfortable they would be?

oh i also will wear the boots around the house on weekends if that matters? and do knee boots look weird under your pants or can't you tell the difference?

thanks alot in advance
