I am looking for an early season boot. I've been running the Salomon ultra 3s, but want something that is a bit taller. Crap keeps getting in the side of my boot
I run the Salomans Ultra 3 as well, but if I need a higher boot I go with my Rocky S2Vs. Durable, comfortable, and light enough. I always wear Darn Tough 100% Merino Wool socks, regardless of the weather. This is also key.
