Hi Andy

I really hope you are wrong when you say that there is no such thing as waterproof boots. After what I went through on my trip - very cold and wet feet - I want to keep my feet dry at least.

I bought a pair of 'gaerne' boots which clearly state that they are waterproof and the shop assistant was adament that they are. I hope she was right otherwise they are going straight back.

I haven't been through heavy rain with them yet but in Auckland it is only a question of time.

Me got Sealskins. I got them for my "colander-like"MX boots. Good, dry, comfy, but I would only want them to come up higher the calf...

Sealskinz here too.
Would not travel with out em.. and Mrs.X uses hers every time we ride.. great bit of kit.. and FYI.. first used them when working in Antarctica, pull boots off one day and there was ice on the out side of the sealskin but the termal socks and i were dry and toes still here :thumbup1:.... think about it..

Remember, anything that makes you uncomfortable can distract you. In this game inattention can mean death (or even pain).. 30£ is not worth worrying about..

Advice: .. in 35 deg heat.. take em off out side your tent.... they can get a bit malodorous!! to put it nicely...
