RE: knee hi boots
From Bass Pro about 45 bucks - Red Head Bone Dry
are 1000 gram thinsulate - slip on and off better than LaCrosse - take a beating - are rubber with fabric camo - I wear them year round with a thin pair of cotton and a heavy wool sock - I wear them when I judge dogs even in summer. On my second pair as they last me about 4 to 5 yrs.
Has an aggressive sole for slippery conditions.
