That's odd ...Glad you didn't lose any toes! That's odd with the leather. I wonder if there was moisture from your sweat that caused the issue. That's what happened with mine, and I couldn't get them to dry fast enough even with swapping out liners. They were's soaked and were barely damp to the touch, but when I returned them, Steger told me they had clearly had enough moisture to start rotting out from the inside. That's with just 10 days/nights of use. I am thankful you are well.<br /><br />I am one who tries and fails often, but it sure is a wild and fantastic journey along the way! Enjoy whatever adventures await over the horizon.<br /><br />With abandon,<br />Patrick Deacon Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01826386402925060912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369761184446700417.post-69601039309934002532014-03-16T14:01:42.329-07:002014-03-16T14:01:42.329-07:00I didnt have any problem with moisture, but someho...I didnt have any problem with moisture, but somehow, the boots were shrinking. Day after day, i had more difficulty to put them on in the morning. The cold made the leather shrink I guess. By been to squeezed, my toes froze.

I am so very sorry your expedition ...Dear Vincent,<br /><br />I am so very sorry your expedition ended so unexpectedly. I am glad you received emergency rescue and are safe now. Were they able to save your toes?<br /><br />I am curious what happened for your toes to reach that condition? I wasn't in those extreme prolonged temperatures, but had moisture management issues with my Steger Arctic mukluks not drying out as rapidly as it seemed they should.<br /><br />Prayers for a full recovery for you. May God startle you with joy!Deacon Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01826386402925060912noreply@blogger.com
