Let's back up here...You wear out a pair of boots in 2 weeks??

Dang, how much walking do you do??? Boots usually last me 5 years or better...
Once they are good and broken in I try to save them for turkey season, that's
when I do a bunch of walking...

As far as scent control, consider this:
For the past 20 years or so I have gone on a week hunt with my brothers and a few
buddies back to were we grew up...We have a cabin in the woods with no indoor plumbing...I may go a couple of days without a bath, don't shave the whole week and might wear the same pants a few days and the same coveralls all week...I have never owned a piece of scent eliminating clothing...I do use my boots only for hunting but do not use rubber boots...I did for many years but after turning my ankle several times and having to wear a soft cast for a few weeks I finally went to leather boots for the ankle support...

We consistantly kill 15-20 deer during that week...

They can't smell you if you are down wind...
