I think rubber boots are a pain. I wear them but would rather wear a good leather boot anyday. They do keep you dry from exterior wetness and scent free, but the sweat inside makes them the pain. The goods ones do fit and wear well. You can go anywhere in them and not experience fatigue. They just don't breath.
you are right, to a point!
when i am hunting grouse here in pa. i use HIKING SHOES.
uninsulated,they are waterproof,real light and you can walk for ever..
if i am in fields hunting pheasants,high grass, water ,soggy ground, i use UNINSULATED LACROOSE ALPHA BURLYS IN my regualr shoe size.....
ARCHERY I USE THE BURLYS..
now, here comes deer season , cold,i use LACROOSE ALPHA BURLY 1500 GRAMS in 1 size larger for heavy pair of socks,if you sit all day...
i even use my HIKING SHOES in feband no problemshunting grouse..
if you are moving a lot you dont need a INSULATED shoe or boot..
this means light weight.
so, if you listen to me ,buy those 3 ,use them as i said,you will be a very happy hunter, for sure..
