I wish they would make something in a fully contained boot. They are so soft and comfortable! I can sneak through dry leaves on a cold morning with those things on. Best stalking footwear out there, but they ain't warm, and they ain't really waterproof (but they drain well). Its all about comfort bro, it was 96 and 95% humid yesterday. I didn't really want to sit in a black tent in the sun with extra high boots on. But, I am payin for it today....legs are all to' up!
