I don' t think it' s possible to have sweated through the rubber unless there' s a hole in it somewhere.

At the same time, I don' t think any material is completely 100% scent proof no matter what people say. Sometimes you' re just going to get busted. That' s just how hunting goes.

I' ve had deer walk down the same trail I walked in on while wearing my leather boots and never bat an eye. Then I' ve had deer cross a trail I walked on in rubber boots and freeze up solid.

One thing I' ve found that works well for me is simply to spray some Scent Shield on my rubbers before heading out. Haven' t had a deer pick up my scent this year.
