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
I think that those boots should do just fine as they are primarily leather with some nylon fabric. I am not a fan of GoreTex boots or socks. I would be more concerned about rain entering through the top of your boots and protecting against that.

I did your route (via Poia Lake) in September 2009 and there is only one stream crossing I recall where you will need to cross carrying your boots. Everything else is a bridge or rock hopping.
