TR,

I am hoping to find the "perfect" duty boot for "all-seasons" but I don't believe that is realistic. I would like to have one that would be lightweight, like the Hi-Tec, and have Gore-tex or the European version, whatever they call it. Also, I need a sole that won't clog everytime I cross a stream, mud, and/or snow.

Think this will work?

Wellco's black Jungle Boot. Different socks like the Seal Skins could keep me going from early spring to late fall, then when the snow flies grab a pair of Danners(Ft Lewis, etc., etc.)(?). I could wear regular cotton socks in the summer.

Also, is it my imagination that when Gore-Tex gets muddy/dirty it starts to loose some of it's water resistant. It seems like I lost some of it, if not most of it, with the Hi Tecs when in school.
