I wore Le Chameau neoprene lined boots all last season and was very satisfied with them.

I didn't much like the leather lined version, I found them to be cold (this was some years ago). I have "moist" feet (don't laugh at the poor old soul) and found that after a couple of hours on frozen ground the moisture had soaked into my socks and gone very cold. Quite unpleasant if you have to stand around for half an hour in icy slush as I often do.

With the neoprene version, and wearing 80% wool socks the problem is greatly reduced.

Thank you, very kind. Mine's a pint
