Default need some help with rubber boots

Hi,
I got busted more than a handful of times this last season where deer would cut or walk my path in and get spooked and leave. I took all the precautions but had on leather boots.

So I am in the market for good comfortable rubber boots that won't sweat your feet. Does anybody have any recommendations?

Thanks.

I've got a pair of Alpha Burley's 1200gram, good on their own to the mid 20's.

not crazy about the Alpha Burley...the boot is too tight around my calf...the older model in the 2005 ...is much nicer..Once I lose some weight I'm sure I'll love the Alpha Burley...{-;

LaCrosse Alpha Lites have worked for me if it's not super cold.

X3! Bought a pair this year, very comfortable. I have an old pair of LaCrosse, pain in the but to get off, but seem to hold up well.

Default How can I help you

I use cut-off rubber boots from a pair of old fishing waders. I think they throw off those deer with that fish scent.
