Okay.
Does that narrow the brands down?
No, there are plenty of good brands out there.
Just go for something expensive, and with a pretty high top.
If SHTF, you really only have one chance to buy them, so don't jew yourself.
high top
Above the ankles, low calf or higher?
Depends on where you plan to go.
It it rainy, or really snowy, or are you going to have to wade through streams?
the higher the better
Or are you going through the hot/arid environments, where your are going to be sweating, and blisters would be more of a worry?
the lower the better
