RE: rubber boots....what's your favorite
I got my Rocky Buckstalkers w/ 1000 grams of Thinsulite on Ebay. Got them delivered New in Box and all tags still there for $32. Can't beat it. I like them. I've never tried the LaCrosse's yet. I've heard great things about them.
The Rocky's are great, but they do get a little bunched up at the angles. Kind of annoying on a long walk. Used them down to about 15 degrees with no cold feet at all which was nice. anything colder I break out the winter boots.
