Classic Hikers I can wear in the snow
Looking for classic style hiking or winter boots that actually work in the snow and mud.
Prefer an actual good boot, resole-able etc, but if I have to I will resort to a more disposable pair.
Any style of boot you might refer to as “classic” could potentially work. It’s ok if it’s a little funky. Where I live it gets snowy and slushy and salty so that is a consideration.
No budget for now.

The Pachena Bay combines a functional single-piece upper with the distinct padded collar that references the classic Italian climbing boots of the 1970s. Please allow up to 6 weeks for production and delivery. All sales are final; no exchanges or returns.
I was very close to buying a pair of these from the online sample sale a couple months ago, but ended up not gambling on sizing
Should probably go try some on

I think paraboots have a classic hiker style that's nice

This model, originally technical, was inspired by the mountain hikes of the '60s and '80s. Today, this mythical mountain shoe has been revisited for an urban style: - Traditional last with rounded toe - Made in France - Norwegian stitching, leather lining - Natural gum outsole
Visvim grizzly boot is classic but slightly freaked in a way that I feel like fits your vibe https://clothbase.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/c78f8a4d-c4be-44a8-878b-2f5294bdbde6/15-02-2019_visvim_grizzlyboots_brown_219902002001-br_ka_1.jpg

I do all my winter hiking in viberg hikers. Went 1 size down from Brannock. Tried the Danners but they weren’t comfy so I sold them.
