Light-weight cool weather boots. - Lowa Creek II GTX Winter Boot - Men's

Lowa Creek II GTX is a well-made, specialized-application boot that excels in cold mud-slush-snow (the daily cycle), which is half of the year in the Northern Cascade/Olympic ranges of WA/ID/OR.

As summer comes on, we have had some days in the mid-70's and these boots start to get too warm. They are rated from +5F to +60F and that seems right. Summer needs a different boot.

The boots are LIGHT. My Danner low-quarter leather shoes weigh more. Ankles are well-supported by the 3/4 height. Lacing is flexible. Tread is okay on road/pavement, but good in mixed wet vegetation. These are not heavy road-march boots, nor "combat" boots.

I haven't had them long enough to know if the soft comfortable interior will hold up to use. They are very comfortable before "breaking in".
