[QUOTE="jimss, post: 2148284, member: 66919"] There are trade-offs for both types. Generally speaking an all leather boot will far outlast synthetics. Most of the synthetic boots I've use and abused over the years tend to come apart at seams especially when wet. All leather have no seams. Synthetic boots generally are a chunk lighter in weight, more flexible, and tend to breath better in warm/hot conditions. With that said, I like having a choice of several boots. I often use all leather boots in the cold, winter, or in wet/snowy weather. If I'm covering a lot of rough, steep country I often choose a boot that is a little lighter but still has stiff soles for side-hills. On hot days in the summer I may choose a synthetic that breathes a little better. I work outside year round and an all leather boot is nice, especially during the winter months. I'm constantly crossing creeks and in the snow/wet grass. I really use and abuse my boots and it's nice to have a boot that lasts a bit longer. [/QUOTE]
