Can you suggest a shoe or boot that is well insulated, light and built for walking?

Question

I do not drive and will either be riding a bike or walking this Winter in Western Michigan. I need a pair of shoes or boots that, 1) Will keep my feet warm and dry and, 2) Is designed to support long distance (5-10 miles per day in 20-30 degree temps) walking or hiking. At this point I am going to say that cost is not a factor (It is a priority that the shoe's design promote health for a 50 year old's feet and body under the circumstances) but I am always looking for a value.

Thank you.

Answer 1

TIMBERLANDS ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!!!

Answer 2

Rockport in my own opion has the absoluty best comfort rating of all the boots that i have worn. hower they are more designed to vent your feet lus making them a bad choice for winter. timberland makes a very nice work boot that is offered with a wool insert but takes a little getting used to to walk in. i would probaly look at a set up as follows. first start with a white calf high sock. then then put on a nice pair of insulated boot socks for warmth. next find a pretty light weight tennis shoe that dose not have any mesh. and slip all that into a knee high galoshish.

Timberland Roll-Tops are the best choice to meet all your needs. Other good choices would include New Balance 926, Dunham 914, and Rockport Westlakes
