Thanks guys for all the input! Learned a lot more then I thought there was on this subject.

Had thought about REI but their a bit too far from home unless I can't get what we need closer. Could end up at Mountain Sports. Hadn't thought about them but that's where we purchased our 'yaks early last spring. Good folks. Will also look at Backwoods. Have never been there but have heard of it and this will give me a good excuse to look!

Another question. "Black toe" was mentioned but I don't know what that is. Given what's been said and the name, I would assume it is heavy bruising of the toe caused by repeared contact the inside of the shoe/boot. Have I got that figured correctly?

Thanks for all the help and Merry Christmas!
