We got my husband some Helly Hansen boots the year before last and we noticed a hole in them last year. I am right pissed. If I'm dropping hundreds of dollars on boots, I expect to get my money's worth. What are your awesome boot suggestions to help me do just that?

No problem! They worked great for me for a few years in Alaska, highly recommend them for snow or wet areas. They make insulated ones, but I never had an issue with the uninsulated ones if I doubled up on socks.

You will, however, get some weird looks if you wear them in an airport outside of the PNW

Lol fair. I wore my XtraTufs on a flight and got some real weird looks in LAX on my layover

Hey though, it gives the extra benefit of knowing who else there is Alaskan from knowing glances! I definitely notice them immediately when I'm out of AK
