So I am looking to get into winter hiking and I have a question.
I am curious as to what I need to look for when I go to buy some decent winter hiking boots? I am not climbing Everest but possibly hiking up Mt. Washington. My questions are.
Should I get a plastic boot, or a softer style boot?
Removable liner?
200 or more grams of thinsulate?
Should I get maybe 1/2 a size or a full size bigger so I can layer socks?
Any information or even a link would e a great help.
Thank you from the winter newb!
What are you doing in them? walking, snowshoeing, skiiing?
sounds like you may be doing some mountains - Are you actually doing any kind of technical mountaineering?
In winter I use either these:
with a decent wool sock, and gaiter, or I use these:
But it really depends on the conditions (snow type, amount of snow, temperature, etc.) that I am facing. I'm often wearing either of those with snowshoes.
I am *not* doing any sort of technical mountaineering, ice climbing, etc..
