I have a WIDE forefoot with a HIGH arch, and I don't think I could find a rubber boot that will give me the support I need. Most of my boots are actually a leather/cordura combination, and one pair is all cordura outers. I rarely have much issue with scent being a problem, but when the boots come out of the field, they go back in the box, and I also wear anti-microbial socks or X-scent socks, which helps keep the foot odor under control.
