I got a pair of Salomon's this year, and though they were pretty expensive ($160), they're worth every penny. So long as they're properly laced you won't feel a drop of moisture on your feet. I love them, and they would be a bargain at $200.

Anyway, unbeknownst to me when I wrote the above comment, I developed a nasty cold later in the evening. Fucking snow shoveling. I once vowed that I would never own a house precisely because of this type of bullshit. I'm not, so far as I can tell, a man of principle.
