Great boots if you don’t mind cold feet and minimal support.

Feet sweat too bad, cold feet.
Tend to roll on the foot, not for mountain wear.

Many come insulated, and you can of course add your own insert.

Don’t know what you are doing wrong, to have such an issue. Using wrong sox, not enough wiggle room? I don’t sell ‘em, just enjoy ‘em for their reliable durability.

I had a pair of those when they were popular in the mid ‘90s.

You are exactly right about them. Kept your feet dry but not warm and they were not very comfortable if you had to walk any distance at all.

I guess that means you are getting old when a fashion trend from when you were in your late twenties to early thirties is coming back again.

I had a pair that served me well but we’d all be amputees from frostbite if we hunted in them.

Mine have padded Thinsulate, warm and supportive. Old as the hills too, as far as wearable shoes go, circa early 80’s.

I had ‘em when I was a kid ‘cause they looked so cool, and they weren’t bad for puddle-hunting ducks.

But they don’t cut it for fallen arches, old cold toes or humpin’ it up a snowy mountain trail.

The Bean catalog (like Eddie Bauer) was a fantasy land for a youngster stuck in the Northern Great Plains, and I still have a fondness for ‘em.

Mine had wonderful wool felt liners. On really cold days I upped to wool socks, too. Happy feet.
