It rained the other day before we got 3 inches of snow. This means that the low areas in my walking trails create quite a few pools. I wasn't worried since 3 months ago I got a brand new pair of 15 inch high Galeton rubber boots. It became immediately obvious as I waded through the first 2 inch deep puddle that they completely failed. I had ice cold water in each boot. I had to cut my walking in half, only 6415 steps. Toady I went out with my old green Wellies, the reason I bought new ones is that these have a hole 7 inches up on the right boot. Since the ground hasn't frozen yet the pools never got more than 4 inches deep so I was good and got in 8821 steps. Didn't really like these anyway since there was no steel shank on the sole, I could feel roots and acorns as I walked on them.
Update: They refunded my money but said that I should have bought insulated boots. Nope. You can easily see that the heel is not in one piece with the sole. That is the failure point. Bought a different pair, Dunlop 8677512 Chesapeake Boots, the only thing I dislike is the waffle stomper treads, they hold too much dirt.
