Thread: Best boots for waterproof socks

i have standard leather hiking height boots with cordura type knee high gaters.
the gators dont seal to the boot like your neoprene ones might? but if I'm fast stomping thru a creek etc then I'm dry, if water isn't above the boot top i can stand around and be dry.
So I'm guessing any boot will do it as long as it's the height of your sox else the boot will fill anyhoo.
Yes the leather loses out after 4 days or so continual water laden terrain use, grasses etc swab off/out the dubbin proofing, a case of dress for warmth while wet.
