Don't waterproof boots tend to cause excessive perspiration?

I had a pair of top of the calf high all rubber boots, but they were just for doing the job at hand and then back to what I was wearing.

Rena, if you are looking for steel toe boots that are comfortable try these,

You can get sizes to fit your foot, you can also get a higher boot if you want more ankle support protection. But these are the most comfortable boots by far that i have ever worn, and i stand on concrete 10 hours a day at my job. The down side is that these will set your wallet back by $230.

If you have trouble finding shoes that fit Red Wing also has more resonable prices on other types of shoes, i wear a 91/2 B and they keep them in stock so i don't think that you would have any trouble. Of course they don't have any stilettos so that may be a problem.

the lacrosse boots i have are gore-tex lines - sweat goes out, water stays out. I stay cool and comfortable.

I actually have some 4" heeled construction type boots... With extra arch support and steel toe half rounds in the toes...

Not that it would be usefull in most survival situations...

Those are great looking boots in the link- I did not know you could get anything in a EEEE!

OK, Rena--I'll bite...4" heels on a pair of "work" boots? <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

You got a picture of those? <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Utility in a survival situation? Depends on what you're trying to survive!

Red Wing does a lot of things that you would not find in other shoes. EEEE would not be in stock at most stores but could be ordered. A friend of mine has one leg that is about an inch shorter than the other one, and Red Wing custom fabricates his shoes with lift in one shoe. So if you really want those steel toe stilettos.

Man, I had forgotten about Corcorans. Had a pair when I was in the Air Farce and loved them. Kept them when I got out and wore them 'til they fell off of my feet. I wasn't really wild about the slick sole, but could probably live with it. They are kinda clunky looking with the capped toe, but I might get a new pair anyway...
