RE: Whats the advantage of rubber boots?
I hate rubber boots. Hate wearing them, hate walking in them, and I can't think of anymore reasons right now. My feet sweat a lot, and rubber boots are uncomfortable for me, especially when it gets chilly outside. And the smell of the inside of my rubber boots is absolutely unbearable. Ain't no covering that stench up. Sorry, if you think that stink can be covered up, there is something wrong with you. I switched to cordura Irish Setters 2 seasons ago. One pair is uninsulated, the other 800 gram thinsulate. I ONLY wear them bowhunting. Not scouting, no yardwork or messing in the garage. I wash them constantly in unscented soap to keep them clean, and I have yet to have a deer (that I've visually observed) pick up my trail. And they have no odor awful odor in the inside that a little bit of Dead Down Wind powder doesn't cure.
