I was on the rubber boot bandwagon too until I wore my leather danners this year on a lazy day...and gasp wasnt winded when deer followed my trail in to my stand. I spray down my boots everytime I hit the woods regardless what I wear, so I wear whatever. If I suspect rain, deep water, or colder conditions Ill wear my lacrosse uninsulated rubber boots. Warm hunting, walking very far, comfort, breathability, i go to my uninsulated danner pronghorns.

I like both, but don't think either is better than the other.
