About this deal

While the upper material is water resistant, the stitching, zipper and the tongue is not waterproof so water can come through pretty easily if soaked.

Backpacking Light helps hikers and other backcountry enthusiasts overcome their barriers to living a life outside in Wild Places. The Great Outdoors Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who love being outdoors enjoying nature and wilderness, and learning about the required skills and equipment.

But if you battle cold feet when active outdoors, the 281Z Hiking Boot Liners deserve a spot in your winter gear closet. Keep in mind “Gore-Tex®” is a trade name but is generally used for a waterproof/breathable membrane, just like “Kleenex” is used for a facial tissue. For more than two decades, he did an annual solo, two-week canoe trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

Wet boots do smell anyway, I suspect this is an enhancing action from chemical reasons far beyond my knowledge. Also is not reasonable in all circumstances since adding/removing layers should be done for reasons other than fitting. If you go for the sealskinz make sure you get the long legged ones so there above the top of your boots . The Shapen Cozy is so light and soft, they are perfect for someone who has sensitive feet that get irritated by stiff heel cups.

But if you are using conventional leather boots, it's harder to see what Gore-Tex offers compared to traditional waterproof dressings. The following warm barefoot winter boots are cozy and comfortable, but not as functional for lots of time outdoors in wintery conditions.

And once that happens, there is almost no way you can keep your feet dry with a light fabric boot, like the KSB 300 that I reviewed in August. Plenty of previous reviews comment on the quality and waterproofness of the previous non-goretex model. My package arrived just as Storm Abigail was due to arrive and my chance to test these waterproof boot liners would not be long in coming. If you're looking for a totally waterproof boot, then get one with a membrane, but don't expect it to last too long, especially if you want lightweight boots. However I wouldn’t recommend them for walking in lots of snow/weather because the outsole is more of a lifestyle outsole and the upper isn’t waterproof.The outsole isn’t the best for winter terrain, so I prefer to use them for warmth as I go around town as opposed to playing in the snow or hiking. The smooth leather is naturally water resistant, and you can waterproof them yourself for extra protection. All in all I think that Gore-tex lining is the outdoor equivalent of the sonic equalizers that used to be plastered all over hi-fis.

Example: In my area, the recent temperatures have been fluctuating between 20 to 40F (-6 to 4C), and it will only be getting colder. Comfort is key to making your walk as enjoyable as possible, and in this video you'll find helpful tips on how to make sure your new walking boots fit you correctly.The outsole is grippy so you’re not sliding everywhere, and the waterproof upper means your feet stay dry. I found that the volume was on the lower side, but I know that many people with high volume feet enjoy these boots after sizing up. So I'm hoping someone in the backpackinglight community has or is familiar with these laminated fabric linings and can tell me if it's normal for them to be wrinkly and loose, or whether they are normally bonded securely to the actual shoe… Y'know I phoned the retailer to ask this and they didn't know!
