I'm looking to pick up a pair of boots. My requirements are as follows:
Waterproof, insulated (200-400g, I don't want them too bulky), pull on, and preferably leather (not a deal breaker).
I'm just looking for suggestions, what you guys wear, what has the highest ratings, things like that. I know it's all relative, but I'm looking for a few good directions to go. I don't like buying a new pair every year, so I would like something of a little higher quality. I don't want to spend $600 bucks or anything silly, but I'll drop a few coins for a good quality pair of boots.
I work in a warehouse as a manager, so I'll be walking inside and outside all day, in every kind of weather. I go through snow, mud, inside on the concrete, and back out again. It's ridiculously cold here now, and I have some boots with 200g thinsulate that keep the toes fairly toasty. That is why I don't think I would want more than 400g, as well as not wanting the added bulk as I mentioned earlier. I also want something I wouldn't mind throwing on for an overnight camping/fishing trip, so keep that in mind as well.
Suggestions welcome! I'm definitely interested to hear a lot of different responses. aside from the parameters I mentioned earlier, I don't have my eye on any particular "style" so I'm completely open to any and all suggestions! Thanks in advance!
