@Shadegardener - I'm curious. You said you ended up getting the Muckser II low shoe. I'm thinking that these are ones I saw on Amazon. What I want to know is what the 'low' means. Does it just mean 'not a boot' or does it have to do with the cut of the shoe? Due to steel in my ankles, low cut shoes always seem to rub exactly at the wrong place. (And no, I don't want 'high waters'. Snicker.)
