To each his own, my experience with the alpha burly's was great. As far as walking i walked 35 miles plus in 2 days in them, hunting hogs in every terrain possible, mud, creeks, rocks, etc. No problems here.
great.
i also have the cheap ones for 49 dollars, not insulated for hunting phesants and they are great also.
i buy them real tight and only lite pair of socks inthem as grouse/phesant season is usually warm here in pa.
now, on to 1500 burlys.
ANY rubber boot you get ,your feet will sweat.
no way to get around it as the sweat cant leave the boot as a leather boot can.
i carry my burlys into my spot i hunt about 1 mile at times.
i then put on my heavy 1 PAIR ONLY socks in my burlys.
if i did not do this,MY FEET WOULD FREEZE.
wet socks.
been doing this for 47 years WITH RUBBER BOOTS.
i agree, burlys are best boot for WALKING in rubber boot but no rubber boot after your socks get wet will keep your feet warm.
you have toi change your socks a lot if you walk and sit ,walk sit,.
i carry 3 pairs of wool socks if i am hunting in a CREW where you do a lot of walking.
