>>2786565>pac bootsThis is the one other genre i'd mention. Think the LL Bean Boot. I tend to not like these boots because they weigh about 5 pounds. They use a polyurethane or rubber (usually plastic rubber) lower and leather upper to have kind of a rubber boot you can lace up.
LL Bean Boots are lighter, cheaper, and fairly cheap to resole but aren't very warm, slick, and will wear down faster.
Other's in US are Schnee's and Hoffman. I'd go with latter if I had to choose. These use a liner for warmth you can remove which is a plus to me, and you can resole them. It's still 5 pounds which is too much for me.
For Europe, they have lundhags.
>ultra coldif you are in alaska type conditions i'd go with a few options
Mickey Mouse boots. US Surplus. Heavy AF and slick but warm. Also fairly cheap. Look up Bunny Boots for warmer.
Stegers Mukluk. Been really close to getting a few times as they are light, use a liner, and the kamuk extreme uses a rubberized over the leather. These are better for dry cold though as wet will permeate the leather. Also is a real rubber sole so urine and oil will break down the rubber.
EVA boots with a liner. What I hear most from russia. nordman, torvi, lemigo.
A lot of people also use neoprene boots with a plastic rubber lower. Think Muck's. I find these end up cracking or the neoprene tears easy on barb wire. Albeit they are good when they work.
hope that helps.
