I've been wearing the same pair of Trophy's for 9 years now. I love them. For me they work well enough for all seasons. Little warm during early bow, just barely cold toes in snow shoes in 2-1/2 feet of snow last weekend in Methow Valley. The bob soles work well in mud but lousy on wet rock, quiet in the woods. I have never had wet feet in them the entire 9 years so far and I don't avoid creeks. I keep them in good care with the Danner waterproofer and leather conditioner, never walk on pavement as the bob sole is very soft. I probably put about 100 woods miles per year on them and they are very comfortable. They are will worth the $300 + and Made In The USA! Good luck on your next pair.
