Hi All, Apr 11, 2012
By way of a footnote to the boot question, insoles make a difference =
also.=20
I buy insoles at Joy-el Investments in Aylesford, second-hand for $1 =
a pair. They can be washed and last years. To find a matching pair you =
have to root through several large cartons of insoles.=20
I don't know what they are called but have coarse woven nylon on the =
underside and fine fabric on the upperside.=20

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Rubber Boots.
Hi all,
My favourite boots, like Fritz's, are Dunlop Purofort, made in the =
Netherlands. When I became frustrated with having to replace my =
Canadian Tire boots on an annual basis, I went looking for =
better-quality boots that could stand up to heavy use. I've had these =
for 7 years, and they saw a lot of use during 5 years of atlassing. =
They were recommended to me by people working on fishing boats, who =
stand in them for many hours each day. I bought them at a fishing =
supply store in Louisbourg, Cape Breton. With good-quality insoles, =
they are immensely comfortable and provide good support.
They were only available in men's sizes, at least where I bought them, =
so mine are size 5 which translates to size 7 women's. They are wider =
than women's boots, which leaves lots of room for a pair of warm socks.
Cheers,
Susann Myers

Subject: RE: [NatureNS] OOPS again. And Rubber Boots.
Hi All,
I use Dunlop Purofort rubber boots which will be familiar to =
many commercial fishermen out there. I've been wearing them constantly =
now for over three years without a sign of cracking or even heavy wear. =
They weigh a third less than regular rubber boots and, with good heavy =
socks and insoles, are as comfortable as slippers even on long hikes =
over rough terrain. They are expensive (over $100.00) but well worth it =
for those who want to stay dry in boggy areas, wet fields and crossing =
small streams.=20
I bought mine at the Neils Harbour Fisherman's Co-op but they are =
most likely available at other stores. All the best.

Fritz - if you go stand in the corner, who will be our voice of the =
north?=20
All - on the weekend, Krista and I went up north and along with =
Fritz, had a good walk-about and got two nest boxes erected. See an =
amusing photo at the Facebook site https://www.facebook.com/NatureNS
We talked about many things, including, as naturalists will, Rubber =
Boots. I have been buying about one pair of insulated rubber boots a =
year, usually just from Canadian Tire. Fritz uses better quality boots =
(I forget the brand...Fritz?) which last longer, but are more expensive. =
What are others' preferences?
Randy
