Sorry Irving forgot i posted in here. Im constantly crossing streams with my boots.. i try to rock hop if i can but if i can't my feet get wet. Asolos were waterproof and the crispis are waterproof as well. But both are short hiking boots, and yes I was saying that because i don't hunt snow very often when archery hunting. It does happen but hasnt dumped on me yet. Tall boots are too heavy and not comfy enough for the ground i usually cover.. and i have weak ankles. Both have done well for that as well.

Im usually on Rokslide and archerytalk. Those are usually my go to forums.. i used to be on a lot more but too much bs on the others. Rokslide is most helpful and used to be hardcore hunters that were very knowledgeable. Now its a mixture but unless you are asking for a hunting spot people are more than helpful with gear and other hunting stuff.

I do have a pair of rockys i wear for snow but im not really a fan.. i have heard good thing about Kenntrek (sp) but have not personally worn them.. as well as Lowa (sp) but again have not worn them.

Head up to scheels and try on boots.

Spend money on your feet. Lots of people end a hunt early when their feet are tired, wet, blistered and so on.
