>>>  I have the cheapest mukluk style.  Hiking on


rocks and pebbles was no problem for my very tender feet.  I did a lot of


climbing and walking, the longest walk was probably about two hours. 





        What I use too...  I have installed hiking boot inserts into these and
they help greatly for walking on small rocks, etc.  Easy to remove for drying
as well.  Keeping the strap tight minimizes waterlogging.  Some people had
mentioned that they get pinhole leaks from blackberry vines etc.  but this has
not happened to me after a coupla years of use..
