GMMAT is going to try the Muck boots. He said his shop owner uses them and you don't sweat in them. He tried in extreme weather or something like that. GMMAT can elaborate.
I've always worn rubber boots, well for about 15 years now, I prefer them in the woods. Today's boots have good support etc. I particular appreciate them cause I cross a creek on the way to one of my stands and the others usually have the water around.
I think you'll be happy with the Muck duc....
