no problem
was thinking on what you had asked and here's my experience:
HM forces - leather boots . . . not waterproof; so we had 2 pairs (min)
Hillwalking - leather boots . . . not waterproof although pretty close but was 3mm+ anfibio one-piece upper . . . then discovered Gore-Tex - dry but less breathable than than just leather, so sweatier
Mountaineering - plastic boots . . . waterproof, but not much use for anything else!
Daywear - leather boots of various types . . . only my Veldtschoen boots could claim to keep the water out for any length of timeGuess what I'm saying is - if you want to stand in a puddle - buy wellies!
-
any good hill walking boot then - I have asolo and scarpa
or these guys do hunting boots too:
definitely wouldn't be having the hemp on any boot for that purpose

@Geo:

yeah i know thats why i ask if they do the whole between layer thing so the hemp is just for show. i have a few custom H.S Trask which does the trick but wanted one that looks good for every day and practical.
for no good reason really its not like i walk down the street then suddenly run in to the bushes to hunt hahah….
i am the typical "i want one that does it all" -
Both of these are really NICE -imho-
8"SHORTSHIFT BOOTS (#87)
&
6" BOBCAT (#36)
hoping I can get one or both pairs Iron Heart powered

I've never actually seen any Vibergs before in the flesh, I can't
believe how heavily built these things are!! The quality is awesome, great
Norwegian welted design, the black Buffalo and blue 21oz denim is a nice combo. Personally
I'm not a big fan of the sole, I'd rather see something with a heel? I would like to have taken these for a test drive around the IH store room to give you the full report, but my feet are a tiny Sz 7 and these samples are a Sz 10
Seriously great boots, I need to stat saving! -
that looks really good, much better than i thought it would to be honest.

I'm not a big fan of the sole, I'd rather see something with a heel?same here.
but def, the IH tab, needs to be rethought position wise:
do you really need to have that tab at all? you never really see a good quality foot wear with
it's name branded on top/out side. also there is something happening with the top stitching around the opening. -
Giles, hope you don't mind me messing with those photos and moving the position of the iron heart tab..if so let me know and I'll take it down..
but I think this may be a good option for the placement.
