Good ankle support, durable, keeps your heels dry during water crossings.... what's not to like?

Wait until that stiletto heel sinks into the mud and won't come out!
I don't know how anyone can wear those high heels; in my day they weren't that high. I had to give up wearing any kind of high heel, even short ones, after my knee injury 25 years ago.

Its not bad but sort of a repeat of a lot of traditional but sometimes questional camping wisdom. Sorry but I do wear cotton but not wool. Its a start, but perhaps not the finish.
