EDC footwear reccomendation please

[Pete Grey]

I’ve put my lightweight boots aside, although they are gortex i think leather are best for autumn and winter weather, even though they have to be treated to keep them waterproof and yes get the best insoles you can.

I have a pair of 30 year old scarpa walking boots they cost me £90, it works out at £3 a year, these are for extreme weather and snow and ice, if nesessary i have some salewa crampons that fit them, these are treated with good old fashioned dubbin.

For everyday use good quality steelies are an excellent compromise, get 2 pair and alternate them, oh and get good wool socks.
