Winter Gear

Gold Member Username: PitbullguyThe Chicago area Post Number: 3590 Registered: Oct-06 | What do you have that you couldn't get through winter without? Particularly boots. I hinted to my friends & family that I wanted a nice pair of boots last winter, Christmas came, nothing. Ba$tards. Chicago winters are rough, lots of snow, lots of ice. Anyone have/recommend a pair of Timberlands, Columbias, or other boots? I'd like a pair that is good for trudging around in the snow, and also looks good when I go inside. |

This is the other side of the spectrum I had in mind... http://www.timberland.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3157637&cp=1779791.1761081 .1761136&int_prevBucket=-1&showSizeSearch=true&pageBucket=0&hasPagination=false& int_nextBucket=0&pageDisplay=superfamily%2Cfilter&pageType=family&page_bucket=0& pageNum=1&pageCount=4&view=all&page=2&totalProductsCount=79&parentPage=family ...which makes me wonder if I should look for a hybrid of the two, or if I'd be better off with separate pairs. Those Cabelas look much more comfortable/durable to walk and be active in out in the snow, while the Tim's would look better with my typical work/social attire. Hrmmmm... |

Yes I own a pair of the Avalanche and they are awesome. I have been going to Cabela's for years, but I actually learned of these boots from Peyton's dad. I saw him wearing them at one of our snowboarding trips to Tahoe/Kirkwood and I was surprised that they didn't cost $200+. |

THANK YOU BRAD WARREN!!!! My sister wanted gift ideas so I sent out an e-mail linking the pair of boots you recommended as well as 2 other pairs I found that looked nice, and she picked yours. They were out of stock so she got me a slightly different pair. They're awesome. Thanks again for a great recommendation!  |

Great boot for the money. If fashion is not key. They are 100% water proof, so you can stand in water and stay warm. http://www.shoebuy.com/totes-10077/281651/604388 |
