>>1778461>No they won'tRead the post dumbass, using those exact "LARP" boots I was able to achieve this entirely. You can cross streams in them with your boot going below the water level but unless your socks wick the water down, your feet will remain dry, I've done it several times. Just because you've been wearing faggy boots your entire /out/ career and have never experienced dry boots in rain doesn't mean it isn't possible. Seriously, stop being miserable in the rain wearing squelchy footwear, there are far better ways.
>Hurr ankle support is a memeAlright, now you're just outing yourself as an armchair warrior that has never had to climb up shit with heavy gear. Rolling your ankle on a crag will fuck you up, I've seen people do it, it's why mountaineering boots are constructed high.
>>1778499Yeah, soldiers bitch about everything including their boots and sometimes rightfully so. Didn't say all military boots are better than all civvie boots but rather that some well tested boots have proven to be reliable in a lot of circumstances.
