I am likely to be hiking in wet conditions - rain and fording streams. Would like to find some light, flexible mid height boots in the hundred dollar range. Is it better to get waterproof or not? I've read where some say, they will get wet regardless and if they are waterproof, they simply stay that wet and wont dry out. Others say, get waterproof and stay dry.
So I am a little confused. What's my best bet? Also accepting brand and model suggestions!
Thanks.
