/o/ut, do you think it's better to have water proof/resistant boots that will probably take longer to dry if water goes over the top or lighter better ventilated boots that will get wet at every crossing, but dry faster?
Trying to decide what model Merrill Moabs I want to hike the Ouachita Trail.
i think it depens on climate. if it's hot and dry then maybe the ventilted boots are the key. if it's freezing you want the waterproof fo' sho'
Best thing really is pure leather boots. Maintain them well and they'll live long. Will take a while to walk into but it'll be worth it in the long run. Look into it anyway.
Cold climate where you get frost and snow, water proof.
Dry and warm climates, breathable.

Listen to this guy OP. Alfa M77 is a great boot.

I have some asolo goretex boots which are about half leather half synthetic with lots of vents. So with that kind of boot you get waterproof and relatively fast drying.
The amount of stitching, flimsy looking synthetic materials and different panels is concerning from a longevity stand point but I've had them for about 4 years and they still look solid.

Here a nice day in the middle of July, with a high of 13°C, good luck with trainers in high grass the following days
Get the moab vent if you don't expect mud. If mud, get rubber boots. In fact, get both!
