Deep mud? Wear boots, no questions. Goretex or no it doesn't matter! But, if it's a bit wet and you are agile you might just keep you feet dry in goretex but not in just leather. A little hot at times but in Tassie and NZ really worthwhile.
Gaiters are essential if you want any hope of keeping the mud, snow or water out too. Canvas ones get waterlogged(heavy and don't breath) and freeze, go breathable only (goretex best). Have Fun! |
