[QUOTE="mtntrapper1, post: 683195, member: 47396"] All good references to boots, Also Scarpa makes excellent boots, I use Scarpa's for warm and cold weather very rocky terrain use that held up better than all others I ever used. I used them in mountaineering and hunting and cold weather trapping. They have many great models with great reviews online. I gave up totally on Schnees years ago, heel bottom rubber that was hollow and tore open and tore to the sides, poor soles for wear in general, and overall bottoms suited for easy ground mostly. Sides wore out and tore easily. Since switching to Hoffman's many years ago, which have significantly tougher bottoms and tops very suitable for rough country, steep sidehills, ice and snow work unless doing serious mountaineering work. Hoffmans will also put their new bottoms on other pac boots. They are available with added stiffener straps, corked bottoms for those extremely slippery sidehills with small logs under snow that will send you sliding down a timbered slope on your tail in a hurry, corks are removable also. I still use quite a few mountaineering boots also, leather and plastic double boots that are light, good rocker shape on bottoms, very warm, breathable and very tough. But in winter snow conditions here in North Idaho and Western Montana, I use mostly the Hoffman pacs in non insulated, 200 milligram, 400 milligram and full thick felt for extreme cold conditions. The soles are tougher than many other boots and have held up very well. You would be surprised how well they handle steep country. [/QUOTE]
