Clayton, Go have a look at Peavy Mart, they sell Baffin boots which are good IMO, cost a little less and never have cold wet feet. I've used them for about ten years now.:tree1:

I'm aware of that, Clayton is younger and probally doesnt have big feet. I would check them out they have some new designs that are not bulky like the old ones, I would say just like snowboard boats.:tree1:

Post what you are looking for in the classifieds with the sizes you want, there are always people looking to get rid of good gear. You never stop outgrowing your clothes you just pause from 18yo to 40yo then start again.

alright. sorry for postin here.

Hey no man thats not what he is saying . Good place for asking questions is right here. However he is reccomending that if you make a wanted post in the classifieds you may find some good stuff for a decent price cause others have outgrown it.

I don't know where you are in AB but if you can get to the Bass Outfitters you could look at the hunting boots. They are very light and warm and waterproof. I got some last year for $80 and I love them. Warm and dry even when riding @-20.

Depending on your foot size, I have a pair of polaris boots that I would part with, I think their either a 9 or 10, Their really good boots, warm and super light which is nice if your tromping through deep powder. I went to Klim's but was keeping these as the spair pair but like I said would consider parting with them.
