I've had a very good summer wearing Mammut Magic GTX. Water proof in streams, good over slide alder, scree, edging, bouldering, side hilling on snow, kicking steps etc... Not going to smear with these, but otherwise very versatile and waterproof so far. I'd recommend if they felt good on your feet. I knew right away they were a good fit for my wide feet.

I have some Limmers that I've resoled four times.

Your Limmers are leather-lined, right? Woven liner's (with or without Gore-Tex) have always failed too soon for me (above big toe and/or heel pocket). I prefer leather lined--or better yet unlined leather--boots. Unlined leather boots dry faster, too. (Liniing/padding takes longer to dry.) Unfortunately, I can't find any unlined leather hiking boots. Redwing Roughneck's come close.

I'm strongly considering something like the Activ, Kinesis Pro, or Pamir and have my reasons. Anyone have experience with the Kinesis Pro? Could always go the Amazon route to testing fit although that seems cumbersome. Are there any stores that actually stock these models? I'm not certain many do, at least between the Cascades and say, Salt Lake.

I've been using a pair of danner workman boots, non steel toe, for work and misc hiking- They are non insulated but they do pretty well with some good wool socks. Some obvious signs of the non-us manufacturing but still durable and light enough for hiking.

I took my daughter to the Ugg outlet mall to get her some of those boots for her birthday that so many females are wearing these days, and while she was trying some on I had a look around. I was pretty impressed with the quality of some of the men's boots and the slippers looked really comfortable. They are pricey for sure but some were 50% off and a couple of men's boots looked like they might be good for hiking. Anyone have any knowledge or experience with these?

My daughter got we the Ugg slippers when she was in high school and they are the most comfortable I have ever had they lasted 6 years and my wife just got me a new pair. She has the high boots and likes them a lot. Affordable at the Outlet but otherwise too pricey.

One of the most comfortable boots I've ever owned were the Raichle Montagna's. Once you broke them in that is. And pretty good keeping feet dry. They were in the old school category, remember that "UH" (ultra heavy) category? I miss those boots they made me sure footed rock hopping. My Danner's are becoming uncomfortable. I bought Superfeet but they seem hard, my feet need soft. It's funny BS mentions what kind of site this is, I climbed Colchuck in a pair of steel toe Timberland Pro's when I was having problems with my other boots. I remember my toes got cold, real cold. Good for kicking steps though.
