I have done this and found them sadly lacking in the level of waterproofness my motorcycling sometimes demands. I’d prefer a thicker sole for both insulation from cold and so as not to feel the metal spikes underfoot. I've heard so so so many old skool bikers talk of the Derri boots but I come back to the point above, a lack of protection. They are very cozy warm with a wide toe box and slim heel (which means they don’t slide around my narrow heels).
Once worn in they can be a little loose on thin ankles and narrow heels, so leg warmers are a great way to make the Dingo work for low volume feet. I used to spend some time in Canada when no one knew where we were and we wouldn’t see another human for 10 days. I’m an outdoors enthusiast slowly transitioning all my functional footwear to natural foot shaped/wide toe box and zero drop. I bought them to wear with my ankle boots but to be honest they do come up quite high up your shin (about just under half way and I'm 5ft 9) and would need to be hidden under a trouser.
Dunno exactly but my impression is that goretex linings break down (and leak) at well under half the useful life of the boot.
However I’ve decided to keep Steger on this list because because for some climates none of the others on this list will cut it and these are the closest to barefoot you’ll find at this warmth. But experience with previous Goretex lined boots means I would much prefer shoesboots without the Goretex lining. I had purchased a pair of the Magical Shoes boots, but i found that the wool lining really irritated my skin so much even with socks.Not only do they make the boots they will also put on the extra thick sole that I require at the factory. But then I walk off-trail on Dartmoor, which is as bad as it gets underfoot, so your experience may vary. Also is not reasonable in all circumstances since adding/removing layers should be done for reasons other than fitting.
Them Thermo boots look very similar to the rubber bike boots I owned with the thick rubber and the fluffy liner. The boot liners are marked both left and right but to be honest they look identical even if you did put them on the wrong feet. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.Even if you don’t have the absolute warmest zero drop winter boots, there are things you can do to make them cozier. The white cotton sock will be cold and soggy, while the dark wool sock will be a much better choice for cold weather.
Manitobah mukluks have a fairly tapered toe box when brand new, but there is a lot of vertical space and the leather stretches out a lot as you wear them. However in all the Goretex boots I have owned well before I retired the boots because of worn soles or the structure of the boot having gone all floppy, they had started to leak like sieves. However I wouldn’t recommend them for walking in lots of snow/weather because the outsole is more of a lifestyle outsole and the upper isn’t waterproof. They are quite loose in the ankle, so if you have thin heels and ankles I recommend a wrap style like the one I got so you can tighten it up. I think gore-tex liners can make a fabric boot much more waterproof than they would have been otherwise.
And by reducing the layers you can create space for including inserts such as rock plates for gnarly paths, or impact absorbing insoles for road walking. I have plumped for the green type that are allegedly used by the military - mind you they all claim to be used by the military so go figure. I still don’t recommend sizing down in most cases because you’ll likely want to be able to wear socks. The Tracker Snow is the best option for winter, but we’ve had a great experience using the Tracker FG as well. Having boots with and without the liner, I know I can dry perspiration out of a boot easier than I can dry out a soaked boot, under normal circumstances.
Great Deal
