RE: Whats the advantage of rubber boots?
We had a woman that used to wear flip flops,no matter the weather.I don't know how she kept from getting frost bite but that is all she wore.
I used to wear rubber but they are so cheaply made anymore that I can't find any that actually fit.I went to the Dream Season boots and I love these things.I did not even consider the scent ellimination of the boot,I needed a boot that fit and was light weight.These things are like T shoes.I don't trust the waterproofing for extended periods of time though.
I wear thses boots in all weather conditions.When it is really cold,I just slip my arctic shields over them and ,if neccesary,I will throw a hand warmer in them but that is for extreme cold only.
