It's not the boots I worry about but what's in 'em.

I think it's important to distinguish between weekenders
and long-distance hikers in this discussion, also.

The former have the option of turning around, coming
back some other day.  The former are at somewhat
less risk from mangled feet.  They're also less likely
to be on their 3rd or 4th straight day of dealing with
rain and mud.
