ive had a really hard time finding boots to wear to Alaska. I picked these up for $40 today. I'm thinking they'll be useful for the winters here in Michigan as well. just wanted thoughts on how they'd be for Alaska. thanks!


edit: ha! boots. I meant boots in the title. guess I have my Alaska cruise - and boats - on my mind :) Edited April 22, 2014 by sjmbruce

Leave them home. They are inappropriate for the cruise season.

These boots would also be useful for the winters here in Fairbanks, Alaska. Budget Queen is so right -- these boots are just too much for an Alaska cruise.

When I am on an Alaska cruise for outdoor activities I take a pair of leather and gortex hiking shoes which are water-proof.

I was going to bring my winter boots too. Can someone put up a link to some kind of boot that would be appropriate?

My husband wore shorts and we wore tennis shoes on all of the Alaskan cruises we have been on. Unless you are going on a glacier, remember it's summer. When we were in Juneau, a shopkeeper asked where we were from. When I said Minnesota, she said, "Oh it's cold there!":)

I think what is most important are layers for any time you are in Glacier Bay. Light mittens and a hat would be helpful then.

thanks to everyone for the opinions....and for checking out my boats ;) I'll be keeping this pair - can't beat the price and I know I will be using them all winter long in Michigan.

we will be there in early may, and will be walking on a glacier. it sounds like hiking shoes will be a better choice though

None.

I always have several miles of "hiking" /walking and do just fine with a good pair of walking shoes. I never take any boots. My priority is packing light. Hiking boots would be for some hard core extended hiking people. :)

tours provide footwear. A good pair of walking shoes work just fine for many people.

Ok, I'd like to pack light-ish. I can just take running shoes then? Cool! And thanks.
