spinner1....I'm assuming you're NOT talking about Studded boots, but rather good old fashioned Rubber lugs. Hiking boots of sorts correct?? If so, there are plenty of boots available to suit your tastes, the Patagonia boots are a nice line, and so are a few others on the market. Have you seen the Korkers?? They allow you to switch out the sole for any other sole in thier line, including some nice tral hiking soles that I looked at in person this past week. The cool thing is that if they do wear out, you can just slap on a new set in no time flat! Check them out, you just might be happy that you did.
