Keepin' your feet happy around the lake...
Back to the Sea Style boots. They are not only great for river crossing but also walking around lakes. In the Windriver mtn range (stough creek basin) There were these lakes and I wanted to walk around them. There was an inlet and an outlet that had to be crossed on each end of the lake. No problem. In between the two, there were lots of rocks, glaciers, and cliffs that needed to be crossed. One would think that after walking in freezing cold water (by the way, these boots do keep your feet warm in icy waters) and going right into walking through snow and over glaciers, feet would freeze. Well actually my feet stayed warm the whole time. The most fun part about these boots is that when I climbed a small clif, there was a glacier that I had to slide down. I put these boots to the test, I skied down the glacier as if I had skis on. They actually worked!! I actually got a few S turns in. If the climb wasn't so steep back up to the top I would have done it again. Well I have found that these boots are good for river crossing and skiing.
