The goals for this boot were mostly around winter and hiking. I wanted something that would hold up well in Buffalo winters including the endless piles of salt my work throws down. I went a bit higher than I normally wear for ankle support, and to balance out a big lug sole and double row of stitches. Fire and ice V100 seemed an obvious pick for a mix of hiking and winter. The natural CXL was a choice made on this app. I loved the way it aged and figured all the oil and wax would hold up well against the salt. I went for the lower heel so I don't start having issues in doorways. There were lots of reasons for the block vs logger heel. It's more stable, I'm on the east coast and I think the logger looks better on shorter guys/smaller feet. The cap toe gives a bit of structure to the unstructured toe and visually breaks up a larger boot.
