I have been training and running all summer and fall. Winter approaches and i need some good boots that can get me threw the winter without me losing some toes from the cold. With the hills in my neighberhood i cant run with running shoes, ill just slip repeatedly. Any suggestions on what kinds i should get. I looked at Ebay and dont know what i realy need or what im looking for.
I found these and was wondering if they can do the trick.

You'll have to talk to the younger guys. I wore jungle boots the whole fucking time. Those little holes on the side aren't for ventilation. They let the blood and water run outta yer boot. Pretty pink bubbles.IronProphecy wrote:What boots do you guys use when your in the mountains with snow?

Don't fucking run in winter boots, dumbass.
You'll get trench foot from hell.
Carry a pair in your pack for when you're stationary for long periods.
Wear regular boots for walking or running distances.

1. Make sure they are fitted properly. Sizing a non-swelled foot in a brand new boot will bring your feet heartache. And have them fitted with the socks you plan on using on your feet.
3. Make sure they're well broken in. Trying to break boots in during the winter is a recipe for disaster.
Hell, at first I thought he was rucking up for the big one.
Note: That's what happens when you get ahead of stupid ass self. Boy, am I an idiot.
And why in the hell is the word "recipe" underlined in green on my post?

I also like the Matterhorns. I was issued a pair of ICB (Infantry Combat Boot) at Parris Island and they worked well for cold weather situations. Some have goretex lining already in them, unlike the Army issued Bellview(sp?) cold weather boots where you have seperate goretex liners.
