When I was growing up, the last thing in the world you wanted was a pair of those rubber boots. Man, your feet would be ice cubes.

But, a friend convinced me to buy a pair of the Muck rubber/neoprene boots last year. All I can say is WOW. Waterproof and warm. There may be a better pair of rubber/neoprene boots out there, but they are going to have to pry my mucks off my feet.
And I am prone to having cold feet.
