hey group, thank you to everyone for their ideas/ suggestions. I am opting to try the Tretorn Strala vinter boot. Looks warm, and at least for me when I ride in the rain the toe/ footbox area only seems to get wet and these look like a great solution for that. thanks again for everyones input -Mike
