We've had a lot opinions (including mine) as to the warmest, driest, most comfortable, etc. What do you like for the quietest boot/shoe/sole? We will be going to Africa next year and I know I will have to get my Meindls resoled if I take them. The replacement Vibram soles on them now are so hard I can take them off and use them for emergency hammers.
I cut all the tendons in the bottom of my left foot years ago when I jumped off a dock and landed on a coffee can. Since then, my left foot has been extremely tender so I don't walk barefoot. It also pretty much rules out a soft, thin moccasin.
We will be going early June, so I don't expect a lot of rain.
