Second on the Filson Uplanders, I have two pair I alternate. If it's muddy or wet I use Lacrosse Rubber boots.

I tried ordering a pair of Russells, Ultra-light Grouse North Forty Southland Bobsoles or whatever they were called, a few years back. I waited until I could get measured by them at the Vintagers where Russell had a booth. I was measured by the company president. After the 6-8 week wait I got the most ill fitting pair of boots I ever put on my feet. They took them back and were not interested in trying it a second time to do it right.


My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
