Your feet will only be getting hot in Gortex if you have the wrong socks on bud. Never wear cotton socks, but go with a wool sock as it will help your feet to breathe properly.
Interesting, will look in to getting some thin (?) wool socks.
Have been using thin cotton trainer socks.
The thickness doesn't really matter bud. Just make sure they are thicker enough to stop your feet rubbing
Would never of though of football boots for this one but what works best, I wear pull on steel toed Dr martins for work, comfortable, steel toe, waterproof, anti-slip(supposedly) and up past the ankles, may try those when I play. Anyone tried these before ?
Only problem with pull on ones might be them pulling off your foot as you run through mud.
ankle boots should be alright, but a proper sized boot that goes onto your shin would be alot more secure and give alot of ankle support which id recommend especially on boggy and tough terrain and ankle injuries are easy to get if you slip or twist
i like astro terf shoes, cheap, plenty of grip and very flexible, but they dont grip down as much as other heavier boots, so it makes them ideal for quick dashes, only draw back is when its wet, they tend to clog up and ive fallen over many a time in the wet because of this, also there not great when you hit a big water puddle, having said that i still prefer them to boots for manuverability and comfort, hope this helps!
I suppose it all depends on your woods, there's a lot of rocks / exposed tree roots where I play so anything with studs wouldn't work. If your woods is all fairly flat grass / soil then football boots might work.
