[QUOTE="shootski, post: 2236506, member: 106014"] [I]First things first any boot needs to FIT your foot wearing the socks you will actually wear. Each boot is built on a Last that will be custom made for just yoúr foot on custom boots or selected by the manufacturer for their boot line from Standard Lasts that fit most of their customers-more or less. Don't buy boots without trying them on unless you already have a pair and the Bootmaker has changed NOTHING. Don't forget to have extra socks (dry ones) to change into frequently. Over boots and Gaiters (Spats) are easily carried to put on and take off as needed for warmth. From my Cross Country skiing background i learned that when feet get cold put on a hat if you already have a hat on put another over it or trade it for a warmer one. Also, NEVER allow yourself to sweat better to start off feeling cool and use layer removal-replacement to regulate body temperature before it is out of your control. I am frequently asked, "Aren't you cold?" by shivering folks complaining about cold feet wearing no hats, LOL! I'm usually on Salomon Boots both on skis and dry land.[/I] [/QUOTE]
