I bought some Salomon exit peak GTX boots last week and they feel great after wearing my heavy Mendl leather boots for so long, I just wanted some lighter ones for over summer. What's everyone else wear ?
 
Winter: Scarpa Cumbre GSB mountaineering boot with Charlet Dart crampon.

Other seasons: I don't mind much about maker or model.
 
Trail running shoes

The only time I wear boots is when there is possibility of snow or the temp is below 30 degrees or so
 
Had my Asolos for a couple of years I can't remember the Model but they are basically what they sale now as the Fugitive GTX. They have served me well even standing with them submerged under water while fishing. Well worth the price paid.
 
I generally wear a pair of Columbia hiking boots (an earlier version of the Newton Ridge model, I believe), even in the summer. Call me crazy, but I would much rather be over-shod than under. My boots are waterproof, reasonably light-weight, and they have good ankle support. I often go off-trail, and it's nice to have a reliable set of boots when scrambling up or down embankments, through streams, etc.

I admire those of you who go barefoot, though!

All the best,

I have been thinkingabout some soft-soled moccasins for the summer time. mostly for the significatly less weight sompared to boots. In the winter though, I still use boots.
 
Now, Keen Venice everywhere except work, and sometimes even there on Fridays. I hear the Keen Newports are just as comfy if not more so.

Winter, looking for a good (not overly heavy) boot suggestion for all around use.
 
Depends on whether I'm working or not.

If I'm not, it's one of the following:

Merrell Riot's

Chaco Flip's

When I'm working it's a pair of WORX by Red Wing.

I really miss my columbia sandals any suggestions on replacement sandles
 
I despise footwear. I'll ocasionally wear shoes or boots when required, I.E; School, and stores or using my axes.

I'll either wear a pair of Goretex Merrel Moabs or a pair of 8" Goretex Wolverines, Dakota Model (Got them cause thats me name!)

I prefer wearing sandals in the summer as stepping in glass or some ***hats discarded cigarette butt is NOT fun.
 
Saucony Grid Auras. Great running shoes from a company that doesn't get enough respect! When I'm doing heavy stuff I wear my Corcoran leather jump boots.
