7th pair and am buying my 8th today.Whether its a hi cut or low I have not ever found a boot that will hold its arch support under all conditions.I rotate my boots,dry them out and use them every day.They are roomy and if you like gel under your foot there is room.I prefer heavy socks rather than gel.Without a doubt this boot selection is the best of the best and you will not be disappointed...........5 Star +++ Snow,ice,rain..........just dry'em out and keep hiking.
