Thanks a lot. These boots are breathable, as they were designed for hot weather desert climates. I'm sure there are other boots that are more breathable though.

I think I'll just buy a pair of goretex socks and use them if it starts getting wet. I've stepped in puddles and shallow creeks with these boots and they do a decent job...but i've never put them to any extended test. I'm thinking we'll encounter rain at least once.

THANKS
