Waterproof boots

Forgot to mention, these are YDS Thor combat boots

Those might be better for invading Poland

These are made by Altama.

You can usually find a pair between $60-$120.

If you wrap the laces around the back of boot at the top near your calf theres a good chance you can even prevent water from coming in from over the top.

They're 10 inch, which is great for support.

Some folks have baby feet and complain about them hurting. I've never had issues, however if you have this issue this is easily resolved by ordering a half size larger and double-socking or using very thick socks.

Also, tape your feet if you know you get blisters often.

Alternatively, just get some 16 inch tall muck boots.

>Waterproof boots
are a myth

>>1012402
full height boot with gore tex and full leather outer, minimal stitching, I'd recommend a rubber rand. Take care of the leather with wax/nikwax and try to keep the insides relatively clean. I use a clean wet sock inside to help remove some of the grime.

Of course, never keep them in your car, or dry them with hot air.

>>1012436
What a dumb thing to say.

>>1012434
Those do seem nice, but i doubt i could find them where i live.

>>1012411
Sounds good to me.

Get the best waterproof boots money can buy
Hike all day in the rain
Your feet will be wet

>boots that will last me as long as possible for wet terrain
There's different constructions for boots that will resist moisture to a degree
-Pure wax/grease treated leather
-Leather/canvas with membrane
-Leather with membrane
-Rubber
It just so turns out we can't easily know how water resistant the leather is, wether the membrane was applied correctly, how long it will last etc.
This
>>1012442
is a good overview what to look for.
Also, all of these will get you wet eventually, the rubber ones from within, the other three both from the outside and the inside.

>>1012402
>that will last me as long as possible
Nowadays this can be a bit difficult as most boots have either EVA or PU midsoles. EVA deteriorates (yes deteriorates, not just wears) a little with every step you take and PU deteriorates naturally over time. PU midsoles generally last no more than 10 years tops.
If you want boots that last longer than that you'll have to get a pair with either leather or rubber midsoles as those don't deteriorate like EVA an PU do and usualy are easier to replace.

Sounds like you don't know how to operate a pair of gaiters.

OP here
Are these any good?

>>1012913
You took this photo from a side with like three reports from people that (most likely) actually bought them and you want /out/ to tell you wether they are good?

>>1012905
I have a pair
It still doesn't matter

Embrace wet feet
Learn to live with them

>>1013077
>sweat means its not waterproof

Don't have children.

>>1012420
Your feet are going to get wet no matter what. The more "waterproof" your shoe, the longer it will take to dry.

>>1012402
For extremely we terrain, special wellingtons exist, look into hunting wellingtons from Scandinavia
Next best things are Lundhags, or boots with GTX membrane, but they are not as durable.
Good old school leather boots will stay dry if you grease them daily.

No, if only because that picture made me throw up from the amount of buzzwords in it.

>>1013197
those are Austrian Army (Bundesheer) boots anon, get your facts straight.

>>1013132
That depends heavily on the construction. Leather with goretex or with leather lining takes forever to dry. Goretex+Synthetics dries quickly. Rubber boots don't get wet in the first place.

Is the wet terrain cold or hot? If cold, you should just go gaiters with something 6-10 inch waterproof boot. If hot, better to get something like jungle boots and embrace the wet. If you choose gore-tex it's just going to be super sweaty and you'll get blisters and other mangy foot shit.

Don't know if you already caved and bought a pair or not, but the inov8 rocklite 286 gore tex are what I have. I could write you a huge glowing review on them, but I'll leave you with this.

Crossing streams in them soaked the outer completely, but the inside was dry. In 90 degree weather and biking even the lightest pair of shoes would have your feet sweating, and these were no exception. However, after several minutes of rest, my feet were mostly dry again and without having to take the boots off. Hiking after it rains means wet vegetation and mud to really abuse your feet on. They breathe too well, and dry too fast for the vegetation to matter, and mud wasn't an issue. Just walk into a stream to clean them. They handled the briers that had previously torn the fabric on my sneakers without nick anywhere. The soles are extremely flexible, with deep lugs. Some of you might not appreciate the flexibility, and probably would not consider them for heavy backpacking as such. Not saying it is bad or good, just that I appreciate them, and that they will probably not last if you use these on pavement. And don't plan on slipping your Dr. Scholls into here as there is not enough room. On trails and such the upper will probably fail before you run out of sole. They are quite narrow, and I do have wide feet so the laces look clunky and loose, despite the boot feeling tight. However I never once had to worry about blisters from these. If the boot wets out completely on the outside you will feel it. Your feet will be cold (so you might even think they are wet), but you are still dry. These are almost like a minimalist boot for narrow feet.

I'm probably gonna make a boot guide here at some point because of this thread. You will appreciate breathability as much as waterproofness, especially if you're in serious wet.

Waterproofness 10/10
Breathability 10/10
Durability 6.5/10
Comfort 6.5/10

I don't have womens feet. Are they available in wide?

>>1019316
More expensive, and sizes are off, but the rocklite 325 gtx is wider. Peoples main complaint seems to be sizing is small, but width is good if you order the right size.

>>1019384
Think i'll look into them. I have walked through 6 pairs of Merrel Moabs last two years, can recommend them. They don't last more than maybe 600 km for me, but they are instantly comfy.

Rubber Wellingtons and overalls if you actually intend to be wading through knee-deep water on a regular basis.

>>1019283
These look pretty promising, thanks.

>>1014255
I also use these but they are certainly NOT long lasting. Mine lasted barely over a season before the goretex lining was compromised on the toe bend.

And as it's a cloth boot covered in fucking stitching, as soon as the membrane lets go you're fucked.

I'm undecided what to do about replacements. I like lightweight boots otherwise I'd be all over full grain leather booties

>>1012402

Not one single company makes a boot that i WANT to buy.
Always end up compromising and needing a second pair

>>1022343
there's a large market for bespoke traditional boots. Some of them will probably even let you dsign your own boot for the right price. Such is the consquence of being a special little snowflake.
