We were driving down a mountainside last month and both girls were asleep in their car seats. I looked over at Tim and a sudden feeling of admiration came over me...and kinship over shared joys. I said, "I'm so glad you love the outdoors. My life could have been very different if I had married someone who didn't share that passion." His green eyes smiled at me in agreement.
Tim is actually much more outdoorsy than I am - a fact that I am grateful for. Although I have been backpacking, rock climbing, rappelling, white water rafting, and ocean kayaking...I am still not as sure or as steady on my feet as he is. He bounds up and down boulders with ease. I go more slowly, watching my feet. He runs uphill on trails without stopping to catch his breath. My lungs can't compete. He can hike for miles with a heavy load on his back. Carrying a baby is plenty for me.
I think part of my trepidation is linked to the fact that I wasn't out in the wild as much as a child. Tim remarked to me on a recent hike, with amusement in his voice, that our girls were going to pass me up pretty soon. And I think he may be right. Our 4-year-old can scramble across rough terrain without flinching. I am so proud (and I HOPE they do surpass me...in every way).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
See those boots that Tim is wearing? They're the Rainier eVent WPi boots by Hi-Tec. Built for backpacking, they are sturdily constructed and offer excellent ankle support. He can walk through water, mud, and rocks - without worry about water seeping in. Even though they protect against anything getting IN, they're still lightweight and breathable enough to be supremely comfortable.
Hi-Tec also sent me the V-Lite Snowflake Chukka 200i boots. You are going to love them. Ready?
Cute, right? I'm totally wearing them right now as I sit on the coach, typing away on my laptop at midnight. And I'm not just wearing them for the picture either. Despite it being hot here in Southern AZ, my feet still get cold at night (strange, but true).
These waterproof beauties are going to be perfect for tromping through the leaves, snow, and ice this winter. Cold weather, here I come!

My husband's been looking for a new pair of boots!
They look like good quality boots.
Everybody needs new snowboots this year. I like the ones that open on the side so your foot can slide in better. My daughter didn't take her boots out of the trunk of her car until July!! Would love to win a pair!
I do the same thing! My top parts will be sweating and my bottom parts will be freezing. I know heat rises, but that right there is just funky.
Those look like some pretty awesome boots. I have no doubt I'll pick some for myself. The spousal unit is all kinds of hawt.
Those Snowflake Chukkas look so warm. My feet are always cold; they literally hurt sometimes lol.
The Hi-Tec Boots look great. They look like they would withstand the hiking i do in the mountains.
These boots are very nice. I can not believe that Fall is here and that means snow is coming soon. My husband and I both need new boots.

My husband and I have found the love of hiking this year, Its a great family activity that gives you education, excersize, family unity, and so much more. I always wanted to get him some good hiking boots and the Ranier eVent WPi Chocolate/Dark Taupe/Burnt Orange sound perfect for him.

The mens boots would be perfect for my husband! We have a creek behind our house with fields, paths and a small pond with a beach on the other side. My daughters want to go back there every day during the summer and every weekend the rest of the year. My husband has to carry them across the creek and about 99% of the time he gets his feet wet, muddy and gross. He'd love these boots!
These boots look awesome. I live in Minnesota and we NEED boots in the winter!
I needed something like this a couple years ago. Lived in Colorado at the time and went hiking in June. Who KNEW that the side of the mountain would still be covered in melting snow. Had no idea. I had hiking sandals on at the time. My bad! UGH.
michelle (at) harrisbb (dotcom)
I love the pair that they sent you! So cute!
Thanks for the giveaway...I can attest to the durability of Hi-Tec's V-Lite HNL HPi Men's Sandal, I wore a pair every day for about a month this past summer, in & out of a lake and the ocean...they held up quite well.
senorpiero [at] yahoo [dot] com
I visited their website and I really love these boots: V-Lite Snowflake Pull On 200i
Multiterra Targa HPi from their adventure sport line looks like a comfy boot
Thanks,
Chris Ann
These boots look really versatile and helpful. The Snowflake boots would be perfect for the St. Louis winters!
I love the women's Snowdonia boots. And you two always sound like you have so much fun! Thanks.
I have always had Doc's but would Love to try these Hi-Tec boots..I am new to the Southwest and apparently need to watch for snakes a little more..Hi_tec has a good reputation for high functioning, wearablity!

Their boots look so nice and warm I really love the St. Moritz 200
Share Cream/Brown and would those keep mt tootsies nice and warm in my frigid vermont weather :)
these look like very sturdy boots, and definitely worth a try.
These boots look like they would definitely handle the rigors of hiking any trail!
ardy22 at earthlink dot net
they look like great boots, my hubby is very much an outdoors man, until I met him, I really was not but know I could not imagine going back. I look forward to going on hiking trips, and I too am not nearly as steady on my feet, I am always a little nervous I am going to fall : )
I'm glad that they carry men and women's boots. They're not bad looking at all.
I'm like you-my feet are cold even when it's not that cold. But, it does get pretty darn cold where I live, and I'm always looking for something to keep my toes warm. These look comfy too.
I wear boots both for work and for hiking, so it seems I am replacing them yearly.
My daughter loves hiking, and is in need of some new boots.
The HI-TEC boots would be perfect for my dad. He's always working hard(fixing family cars, doing yard work, and other miscellaneous man-chores). Reineer event boots
rainer event boots
i cant believe how cute those boots are! im always outside and have a different pair of boots for everything my husband goes thru a pair of boots about every two months.
look like great boots! Could really use a new pair :)
Oh how cute- Dev would look darling.
Five years we have been in the north now, after eighteen years in Florida (for me and hubby) and I still don't own boots, nor does our 16-year old. Our mentality is still warm weather, I suppose, but we love to sled (and the teen snowboard), so this year, we're going all out and embracing the north with boots. :)
Just like you received. I like the snowflake chukka in brown!
LOVE the snowflake boots you're wearing! The ONLY thing I like about cold weather is breaking out the boots. :)
These boots look great! I also have cold feet all the time but that's cause I live in Washington where it's rarely warm enough :( Maybe your feet are cold because of air conditioning? I def need a nice pair of boots for the crummy weather here so I can play with my kids in the snow!
I like the Soledad
I love the looks of the boots and they look so toasty and warm we live in the midwest and these would come in handy
Those Snowdonia boots are totally cute! Being in Colorado I'm always looking for cute ways to accessories and not freeze my patookiss off!! :)
I really like theirV-Lite Snowflake Chukka 200i (40167)..
Thanks for the giveaway!
These boots are so cute! How cute to have a mathching mother/daughter pair.
Lovefool827 (at) yahoo (dotcom)
I really like these boots...It is hard to find cute winter boots, especially since I live in central New York where it snows a TON!
the boots are what i need for hikeing in the adarondak mountains where i live
I love the boots you received, super cute :)
I would definitely choose the V-Lite Snowflake Chukka 200i...I am just undecided on the color because they all look so fabulous. I love this giveaway!
These would be fabulous for my wonderful husband
Thank you
[email protected]
I would love to have a pair of the snowflake boots.
My husband and I love to fish and sometimes it is darn cold out and these boots would be great.
Hi-Tec's Sabi Mid boot is cute! I'd pick that if I won.
Thanks for the contest!
How cute! With these Michigan winters we have around here these would be perfect! Thanks so much for the great giveaway and great site. I'm an email subscriber also!
msjem2001 at yahoo dot com
I use to do a lot of rock climbing when i was younger i have to say as ive gotting a little older i sont have half the energy anymore but maybe with a good pair of boots i could get back at it again (chucosbabygirl(at)yahoo(dot)com)
it gets pretty cold here,I need some warm boots for all the snow and ice we get!
ardelong2(at)gmail(dot)com
My dh would like the Altitude IV Dark Chocolate boots. thank you!
I love the V-Lite Snowflake Pull On 200i in brown. These are so cute and they look very warm and comfy. I'd love to have a pair for this winter!
WOW They look extremely comfortable and would be great to wear in the snowy weather, and would definitely come in handy during our crazy winters here in Ohio, Thanks for the fantastic giveaway
Hi Stephanie,
Great looking boots! I would love to win and send them to my daughter at college in Indianapolis. She's a Floridian through and through so the approaching colder weather is going to be a challenge for her. Your warm, cozy boots would help a bunch!
oh my, the snow we get here is terrible.
these would be so great and warm too
thanks for the opportunity
When I served as an Emergency Medical Technician, I wouldn't trust my feet to any other brand than Hitec, and now this ol' grandpa could sure use another pair for winter!
My husband is on an endless quest for the perfect pair of boots. He needs good boots for work that support his ankles. I'd love to get him a great pair of boots without him feeling guilty for tapping into the family budget (which is ridiculous, he needs good boots!)
Thanks so much for the opportunity :) Their women's boots are adorable!
I would love to try these boots,I have heard that they are awesome!
I have owned a pair of hi tec boots and they are tough and great made boots. I use to work out side in the winter in them and they were very warm also. It would be great to win another pair since mine after 4 yrs are finally wearing out. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Those are such cute boots! You tend to write about hiking a lot, so I'm sure you loved these!
autumn398 @ yahoo.com
Just moved here to CO from FL - yes, people think I'm crazy - and I'm not that experienced with dealing with snow long term....
This review and info I found on the company's website has helped answer some questions I had about what kinds of boots I could need....
Thanks.
I love the boots. My feet freeze in the winter. I usually wear two pair of socks.
Thank you for the giveaway. I love the outdoors just as much as my husband but, like you I'm a bit slower now and watch my surroundings. I'm so paranoid that I'm going to meet up with a snake or something! Those boots are really nice!
Those boot of yours are awesome! My feet get cold here in Phoenix too. They're always cold, so a good pair of warm boots for the winter would be nice! =)
I'd love some boots for winter!
These would be excellent for our cold wet winter weather!
We love to camp & spend as much time as possible in the forest, hiking & exploring.Good boots are very impotant to keep the enjoyment of the experience.
I was looking for a pair of boots to wear to Lake Arrowhead this winter, and I think the St. Moritz 200 are just what I'm looking for. Thank you for the lovely giveaway.
sewmuchstuff at ymail dot com
The Park City Sport 200 boots are really nice!
Well, the great thing about well-constructed hiking boots is that they last forever! I've had mine for 17 years and they show no sign of needing to be replaced...that's why I was also happy to see some cute non-hiking boots in the inventory!
wolverina401 at gmail dot com
Those boots on you look Super Comfy! I also like the St. Moritz 200 for women.
My niece will love these boots for Christmas
Oh my goodness, how cool you like to hike too! That has always been my favorite outdoor activity outside of astronomy. However, we have not done much of it. I told the kids this year I need to buy all of us some hiking boots so we can go on more adventures together. Which pair do you recommend for WOMEN for hiking?
I actually haven't tried any of the Hi-Tec boots for women, but I love my Syncline GTX boots from The North Face! http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc-gear/womens-syncline-gtx.html?parent_category_rn=&cm_vc=Search
I have never heard of this brand before. Nice products on their site. I would choose the V-Lite Snowflake Pull On 200i in Brown/Taupe/Chocolate. Thanks!
Well a pair of boots would be right up my alley right now since I had to throw out my old ones and they were gotten way second hand like 17 yrs ago
I walk a lot, and have been looking for a good pair of boots for winter. The weather guy keeps saying it will be a La Nina winter with lots of snow and very cold, so the San Moritz 200 in black would be perfect.
I need new boots for this winter's snow season--and this would be a perfect way to get them.
Wow-would I love a nice and warm pair of boots for a Michigan winter. Sadly, this year they are predicting lots of snow!
Buying a new pair of boots each year is my little mini celebration of fall. If your going to have to put shoes back on for the cold weather, might as well be awesome boots!
We go camping and hiking regularly. And although my husband is great in twenty degree weather me...not so much. Once my feet get cold or wet my whole body is cold until they get warm again.
jweezie43[at]gmail[dot]com
I really want hi-tec's snowflake pull on boots!
I absolutely love those boots.. Boots are my favorite thing to wear in the fall and winter!
I don't think anyone can ever have too many pairs of boots!
I NORMALLY DON'T WEAR BOOTS BUT WOULD BE UP FOR TRYING THEM OUT! THANKS AGAIN! [email protected]
I hike all over Arizona, and I can tell you you need ventilation and you need strength on the sides of your boots.
We moved to Syracuse NY last year, I never knew how important good boots are! I didn't even own a single pair. I have a good pair of hiking boots now, but they're not the most comfortable, these look like slippers!
I am an outside enthusiast! I am outside constantly no matter the weather. I love winter months and am walking and hiking all over my area, so these boots would be great for the many months ahead that I will be outside!
I really enjoy the outdoors and would normally jump at this opportunity to pick up a pair of say, the Cascadia eVent WPi backpacking / hiking boots in Dark Forest / Black / Graphite. But in this case were I selected, I would let my wife choose a pair of boots for herself. :)
Warm and Dry , these are 2 basic needs ina boot and to be sporty besides is an added plus.
What an absolutely awesome giveaway! My husband DESTROYS hiking boots! WE have bought several, very expensive, from very reputable companies boots and they rarely last a season :(
Now that summer is over, it may technically be fall but I see it as pre-winter. My snow boots bit the dust last winter so I natrually made a beeline to Hi-Tec's insulated boots. The St. Moritz 200 look perfect for me.
I love love my hi-tec's, model eclipse lite, don't think they make them anymore, they're pretty much worn out and definitely want another similar pair!
Those are adorable...love them! And it is an absolute necessity to have warm boots here in the Midwest. :)
I could really use some boots for Colorado! =)
My husband has been hinting about a pair of these for Christmas. Wouldn't it be great to win him a pair???
digicat {AT} sbcglobal {DOT} net
These boots are really cute and could definately see myself wearing them! But you also gave me the reminder that it's time to get the rest of the winter gear for my kids.... including boots!
I really need these. My boots barely made it through last year. They need to be replaced.
awesome giveaway, would love to have a pair of those boots.
You will be tromping through the leaves, snow, and ice this winter in southern Arizona? :-) I love these boots! So comfy looking and I like the style...I'm a real "earthy" type. Thank you.
Actually, we won't be in Southern Arizona this winter: https://metropolitanmama.net/2010/08/the-plan-sell-everything-live-in-an-rv-give-every-day/. ;)
We are planning a hiking trip to Alaska and some new boots would be absolutely wonderful!
These boots would be perfect for where I live. we have harsh winter and I need boots that are waterproof and warm.
The Robeez Booties look great for cold Colorado
Cool blog and thanks for the giveaway!
Would love, love, LOVE to win this!
=]
I'm so thankful my husband likes to camp and hike too, instead of spending all his time watching tv sports!
I have been looking for some boots for this winter.... the ones I have likd, have absolutely NO traction! Whats he point in a pretty boot with no traction! :)
Good Luck! :)
This would make a fantastic Christmas gift for my dad ... he is pretty serious when it comes to his boots! LOL
I think your boots from Hi-Tec have got to be, hands down, the most adorable water proof boots for women I have ever seen! I have heard great things about Hi-Tec but have never purchased anything (yet).
Thanks and have a great weekend!
My granddaughter is going to be living/working at a Wolf Sanctuary from January - March for her high school graduation project. The Park City Sport 200 boots would be perfect for her since they're both warm and waterproof.
I LOVE the boots that you are wearing! Super cute!!
I visited their website and those are still my favorite. Thats what I would pick if I won.
Hope I do!!
I am LOVING those boots. I have to admit it has been awhile since I checked out Hi-Tec but I can see they've definitely updated their look. I'm diggin' it! I live up in the cold, cold north. Kinda like the tundra during certain times of the year. Right now I'm looking out my picture window and the leaves are the colors of fall, the grass is still green with a sprinkling of colored leaves everywhere. Absolutely amazing. I do know that this could all be white within a months time. I too love the outdoors. I think living up here you have to...especially in the winter. Ice fishing, snowmobiling, skiing, playing in the snow. The outdoors are a gift and I say get out there and experience it!
We love being outdoors and while everyone has some great boots, I don't. I would love to treat myself.
Ooh! Cute boots! I'm in need of some new boots since we live in chilly Illinois and I've had my current boots for over 6 years now! Thanks for the giveaway!
I'm anxiously awaiting the first snowfall of the year. It's gorgeous and...fresh! Of course having a good pair of boots makes the snow that much more enjoyable!
I would love these boots and could really use them too with winter coming I live in MN so boots are very important.
So I was originally entering for boots for my husband...until I saw YOUR boots!! So cute!! I really want a pair :)
ckbruce(@)rocketmail(dot)com
I checked out the site and Hi-Tec offers 5 different boots for women. It's a good deal with the boots because winter is coming up and well it's always nice to be safe with boots.
These are cute boots, I really love the St. Moritz 200 boots
Ranier eVent WPi
I really like these - my son is in desperate need of new boots.
these are great!! I think either my dad or brother could use a pair the most!!!
These are the coolest boots I have seen in a long time. There is one thing I have never spent good money on and that is boots. We go camping as a family six or seven times a year and all I wear is tennis shoes - these would be awesome!
My feet control my body temperature too. When I'm cold - I need slippers. When I'm hot at night, I stick a foot out of my covers and get cold again. Weird! While we haven't gotten too into the hiking scene yet, my girls love it, and I would like to do lots more of it.
Love it. I would totally wear the warm and comfy looking boots inside the house this winter - my place is always drafty and I get cold feet really easily!
I would love to have a new pair of boots. It snows quite a bit here and since I walk to work I tromp through it quite often.
For those of you who that are followers of Supra and their Skytop form, we have a heal for you. Here we characteristic a two of Supra Trinity NS TUF’s, which characteristic a crackled cowhide construction.
I do a fair amount of hiking and they look like they could handle the workout. Nice that they are sold at The Sports Authority.
Your boots are so cute! I think I would actually wear those! I'm not a huge boot person, but since we moved to IL I keep thinking I should pick up some that I like! I would love to win a pair!
I LOVE LOVE those boots, and may I say...more than my Uggs! That's saying a lot!
Stephanie, those snowflake boots are DARLING! But, I have to say, if I won I would get my husband a pair of something more hardy and practical. He's not a big hiker, but he is an archaeologist. Digging up ancient relics can wear out a good pair of boots mighty quick.
Those Chukka boots are so cute, they look very cozy and warm.
Those are some great looking boots!
Your boots are adorable! My feet are always cold too, no matter whether we're indoors or out. I would love to have a great pair of boots to stomp around in!
I love the buttons on your boots! So cute. It doesn't always get terribly warm where we are, but we have dreams of a colder climate ;)
Oops! I meant cold, not warm!
I would love to get these for myself, but my husband is the one who really needs some new waterproof shoes. He is super picky, but he always finds a pair on the hi-tec site that he likes!
My husband has been searching for a new pair of hiking boots for ages it seems. We'll have to look at Hi-Tec next time we go looking.
These Hi-Tec boots are so cute! Living in Utah, I could definitely use these during the winter months coming up and also while hiking which is our favorite past time!
Those boots look quite snuggly and warm!
enter me thanks
I also married an outdoor lover and I'm thrilled that we can do all the fun stuff Colorado has to offer together!
bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com
I could just see my hubby wearing the men's boots Tim got to try. He could really use a good pair of hiking boots, especailly since you mentioned they have good ankle support. The trails we hike usually are fairly rocky.
We love Hi-Tec! We just bought my daughter her first pair of "real" hiking boots and they are brown Hi-Tecs. She has loved them. They hold up well and are super comfortable. I'd love to win a pair for my husband.
I love it when the weather gets cool and crisp and its time for boots!!
Thanks for the chance.
[email protected]
I'm not much of a hiking person but those boots look comfy!
Despite living in Hawaii, we do travel back to the mainland (New York) a couple of times a year and these would be perfect for the trip. Also like that they are sold at Sears (convenient).
My Hubby loves to wear the "hiking" type boots when he is working his trucking job. He likes them for the support.
I would love this pair! Auckland WP Share Cool Grey/Powder Blue/Charcoal
My current hikers are pretty beat up! I would love to try them.
I've been looking to get a pair of good leather boots for my brother when he goes out fishing but he hasn't made the investment yet, this would be a good welcome to have and give to my brother.
I really love the V-Lite Snowflake Chukka 200i in the black and chocolate brown colors!
My husband and I enjoy hiking in national parks. The Women's Hi-Tec V-Lite Lightning HPi would be perfect for me. Thanks for the giveaway!
i like the Trail Dust Mid WP style and quality thanks
Would love to have a great new pair of boots for Winter. It snowed so much last year and I wasn't as ready for it as I should have been!!
My husband could really use a new pair of good boots...hope I win!
My boots are torn so I'll be needing a new pair for winter walking. Thanks for the chance!
I sooo need some boots. I love the Altitude Enviro WP Boots. I like the way the website is designed also.
I'm already freezing and it is 45 degrees here tonight. I would love some warm, water proof boots for the fall and winter weather that will be heading my way real shortly.
Both pairs of boats look neat. I would love to win some for my husband.
love the snowflake boots and can't wait for winter walks
These are such cool boots! I could really use these. My feet stay cold all winter no matter what. These would be HEAVEN!
So cute! i need those - my feet are always freezing too!!
I also like the V-Lite Gran Cararia sandal
My husband is a farmer and wears Hi-Tecs regularly. I know he'd love the Cascadia Event WPIs.
sign me up
comfy cozy boots are my favorite (my feet get cold at night too)
tvollowitz at aol dot com
My darling daughter is so much more the outdoor girl than me...but she drags me along for the ride. I am learning to be as outdoorsy as her.
Those boots have to be the cutest things ever! We were in Rocky Mountain National Park the end of May and went hiking through three feet of snow on parts of the trail- in just tennis shoes. These would have come in handy.
It can get pretty cold here in winter and I'd surely use a pair of such practical and warm boots, especially since I like taking daily walks and going hiking with my hubby and our two dogs. Thank you for hosting this giveaway.
The weather is getting much colder now and that means comfort food, flannel shirts and boots. I would really like to win a pair of womens boots. Mine have seen much better days.
We don't hike up many mountains around here, but going for "nature" walks together is one of our favorite free dates. :)
I am very interested in these boots. I wear boots every day for work, and I find that most of them fail or break dow under extreme weather. If these could last through extreme conditions I would love to have a pair for my own.
I wonder if they have steel toed boots. My husband needs them for work.
We are a hiking family that lives in a snowy area we can always use duriable boots.
My family enjoys camping and hiking and we all have hiking boots. My sons are both Eagle Scouts and camp often. My oldest hiked the Appalachian Trail while at a summer camp in North Carolina!
I LOVE MY 7 YR OLD HI TEC BOOTS, BUT LOVE TO HAVE A NEW PAIR
Yes, those are so cute and I would probably be wearing them right now if I had a pair! My husband wears boots to work, so it would be a tough call on who would be getting a new pair!
My feet are always cold too! Those boots are adorable!!!
I think it's wonderful that your girls are growing up in the wild. I hope my son has as much of a feeling of ease in nature as they do. We get out everyday, even in poor weather.
My husband would love these boots. His hiking boots are sadly falling apart after many years of use.
My husband and I ride a motorcycle(I'm the passenger) but these boots would do nicely.
I just love those Chukkas you featured. My camping-crazed daughter sure could use a pair of these to keep her feet toasty during these crisp fall mornings. They'd also be great for walking her companion-the-dog in the crunchy snow. :)
The boots are so nice and besides being pretty they are functional. I go outside a lot in the winter to walk the dog, watch the kids while they play and these would be so nice to have.
I would love some new boots! We're supposed to have record breaking cold temps this winter, so these would be awesome to have!
Those boots are so stylish AND practical. A complete must in Minnesota during Dec, Jan and Feb. I have a couple pairs of Ugg shoes that keep my toes nice and toasty during the winter months but I do need some quality boots to pull on over my jeans when it's sloppy and cold outside. Haven't heard of this company before. I'll have to take a look!
I COULD REALLY USE SOME NEW BOOTS WAS THE COLD IOWA WINTERS.... I HAVE BOOTS FOR THE FARM BUT REALLY NEED SOME FOR TOWN THAT DO NOT SMELL FUNNY LOL THESE LOOK VERY COMFY BUT THAT THEY WOULD ALSO LAST A LONG TIME
I am in love with the St. Moritz 200 in Black / Clover. Perfect for the winter and adorable to boot
I love the Soledad in
Share Smokey Brown / Taupe / Gold and also in Cool Grey / Peacock ( I can't decide!)

Those V-Lite Snowflake Chukka 200i are super cute. They look really warm and comfortable! :)
great prize with winter coming
The boots look warm and will get me through the cold winter
Last winter we got hit with so much snow, something we're really not used to, and I was caught totally unprepared for it. I had to wear three pairs of socks and my husband's boots to shovel; not too attractive I might add. I would love to win these beauties just in case we get hit like that again because my husband is deployed and I will be shoveling for sure. Thank you!
These boots are adorable! They seem to so sturdy and stylish at the same time. These would be great for those cold Michigan winters.
Perfect weather coming up for these boots. I really like the St. Moritz 200 style.
This prize would be perfect for when my husband and I go on camping trips in Wyoming. I wear out a pair of boots every year because I hike so much.
I really love the Snowflake Chukka that you have on. They are so adorable.
Shaunda.Eppes at gmail dot com
Very nice that they are waterproof! My husband has the hardest time finding nice boots. I think we would really like these.
We do a lot of hiking in the fall and early winter, these boots would be comfy I bet.
My husband would love the Cascadia eVent Boots. Thanks.
The kids' Renegade Trail WP Jr are really cool.
I really like the Snowdonia 200.
My boots cracked last winter so I looking for a new pair. The Hi-Tec boots look great!
Hi Tec makes great boots. I would love to have a pair of the St. Moritz 200 for winter.
This Hi-tec company seems to make some cool products. I would love some boots!
The Snowdonia 200 are so cute. I looked for my husbands size first but they don't carry anything over 13 in boots for men..I sure could use the Snowdonia 200 for this winter though..Thanks for the chance.
My husband and I have been whining to each other about our sneakers we wear on all of our hikes! We would LOVE to have REAL hiking boots for our lovely mountains!
O, I love the look of the Snowflake boots (anything with soft fuzzies inside gets my attention :) Those would be so fabulous for our chilly winters. Also, it's so great that you're giving your girls such an early introduction to the joys of the outdoors & the skills involved - that's always inspiring to me!
Now, I would've completely disregarded boots like that as ridiculous for life in this part of Arizona. But then I thought about how much I wear slipper socks around the house, even in the summer, and maybe you're right . . .
I would love to win some boots like that for my hubby! The winter booties look fun too, but I don't really think they would survive our winters here and would probably end up more as slippers... which I have 2 pair and still never wear! My hubby would probably like it if I did though because it seems I never notice my feet are cold until I get into bed... yes, even in the summer!
The Snowflake boots definitely aren't hiking boots. I see them more as slippers too...the kind of boots to wear in the early morning or late at night...or, perhaps, out on errands in cold weather.
My family really loves the outdoors too! They boots you are wearing look so warm and cozy. Here in Utah my feet are cold for about 9 months of the year. A good pair or boots is always a must.
My dad used to always take us to tromp around the woods of New England when we were little, and I spent my summers exploring the woods around our house with neighborhood friends. I wouldn't say I'm a completely outdoor person, but I think it helped me feel pretty comfortable outside as I grew up (except for bugs, bugs were always gross ... and I would love to win these boots to protect my feet from those little creepy crawlies!) :)
Yes, your boots are terribly cute! How could anyone choose a practical hiking boot over those little cuties! My husband could use new hiking boots though so maybe I would cave and let him have a new pair first!
Those boots look fabulous!! My feet get cold at night pretty much no matter what too.... but I can think of many, many places I would take them in addition wearing them while sitting on my couch.
Wow, your boots look SO cozy! I was just looking for some waterproof boots for myself. Hopefully we won't see nearly the amount of snow we saw last year on the East Coast, but I'm sure a little bit is inevitable.
I've always wanted boots like those! They look sooooo comfy. Hubby and I will definitely be fighting over who gets the pair of new boots! :)
I haven't had a pair of winter boots since I was a kid! I would definitely LOVE a pair now though to keep my feet warm when the snow starts flying! :-)
I'd love to have a great pair of Trail Raider Mid 200 boots for cleaning driveways of snow this winter! I enjoy running the snowblower to help neighbors get out, but really need a great pair of waterproof, insulated boots!

The snowflake Chukka would be super cute with some leggings and sweater dress!!
They are so cute! I haven't had a good pair of boots for about 8 years!
Those boots are SO adorable! I don't think I'd want to actually wear them hiking, for fear of messing them up! :)
We're the same way, Aaron is fearless, the kids all follow him and I walk behind, telling myself I don't need to be so careful. We are very intentional about not saying "don't do that, you will fall", we don't want them holding back out of fear. Oh we're gonna miss you guys!
I have never really had a comfortable pair of hiking boots, it would be awesome to get some. Tennis shoes just don't cut it!
My husband can ALWAYS use new shoes but for me - I love the cute pair you are wearing and besides I am the one in my house who rides my bike year around - rain, snow and -25 will always find me on my bike.
We don't get snow up here, but we do get much colder weather that Tucson! Bring those boots up here and we can hike in the redwoods and run on the beach with the kiddos!
These boots are adorable! They would make a great thing to wear here in the winter! Plus they really look functional too, not just fashinable!:)
those snowflake boots are adorable! they look perfect for midwestern winters!
Your boots are adorable! I think they're the first pair of fashionable AND waterproof boots I've seen! I definitely needs something like that for northern Colorado winters!
I just commented this on your other boot post, but yeah, Hubby needs some boots. Because doesn't everyone need a good pair of boots? They are so useful and comfy!
We love Hi-Tec boots. My hubby and I use them for hunting and they really do stand up well!
Oh my gosh those boots are too cute. I am not too much of a outdoorsy person, I think that is why it felt a little weird to me living in Montana. Everyone did outdoor things all the time and I just wasn't into it. I love taking a nice drive and looking at all the nature stuff but I don't like to get dirty. Man I'm girly sometimes. :)
Love the women's boots and that they are cute while still being functional! When I try to get my husband a good pair of boots that keeps things out I always feel like they are so heavy. Glad to hear these are a lighter weight!
The boots are definitely cute!!! They look well made! I am also in love with your daughter's boots in the ergo post! She looks darling in boots and her dress!
We don't hike all that much, but we have snow! And those boots look like they would be great for snow. My husband usually just shovels in his sneakers, which ultimately end up sopping wet.
Perfect timing, with Fall and Winter upon us! I like the Snowflake Chukka 200i boots too!
Love those adorable boots! Perfect for my new goal of lots of hiking in Colorado over this next year.
