What's your go-to winter footwear?

Although the cold this year took a bit longer to settle in, we’re now in true winter weather. For many of us in the West Coast of the US, it’s mainly about staying warm and dry from the rain. The other day a friend was asking me to recommend him some good waterproof (or at least water-resistant) pair of shoes to buy, and i blanked out for a second.  Would love to hear from everyone here...what’s your shoe rotation during the colder/wetter months of the year? In my case, the only technical shoes that can withstand heavy rain like a champ are my Goretex-lined Nike ACGs. Other than that, my Thorogood Dodgevilles (that i proofed) and a pair of Danner Mountain Light II’s (a brand we’re going to be featuring soon).  Anyways, curious what are some of your go-to footwear during the season?

Thomas, that was a really good question. Not a question we ask ourselves here in SoCal very often. Granted we just saw some light rain yesterday my go to are a pair of leather upper Nike Cortez (Forest Gump colorway) or my (Supreme x Nike) Humara’s. Both very comfortable, stylish. Cortez a runner and with leather upper, does a good job at repelling water. For heavier rain I go to Humara as it’s a trail inspired with a higher stance. The leather and nylon upper does a great job at keeping the wet out. Also my go to when I’m in snowy climates.

MikeLiveNice, love me some Humaras! Somehow I think of both these choices as being very SoCal-style...hehe
Wouldn't call it my go-to, just the only thing wet weather worthy that I have: La Sportiva Vibram GoreTex. Good support and keep my feet dry. Odd bit: not comfortable while seated, but very comfortable while walking.

I'm in Colorado and live in my Merrell Phaserbound Boots for half the year. Best pair of boots I've ever owned!

ExhumetSecond that, best boots I've owned. Every once in a while I apply a bit of beeswax conditioner on the freshly cleaned leather.
