Default RE: Rubber boots vs gortex scent supressant boots

I realize that rubber boots carry the least amount of scent, but I have never had any problems with my non-rubber boots when it comes to scent control. When I first get a new pair of boots (only have two) I run around the woods in them for several weeks and put them into a air tight bag after each use (make sure they are dry). The boots I wear hunting never touch any thing but the deer woods, not my truck, not anything. When I go hunting or scouting I sit on my tailgate and put my boots on. When I am done I put them right back into their bag. I have had deer walk down the same path I took to get to my stand not a half hour after I walked it.

My point is, I think scent control is the most important thing you can do with your hunting gear, especially your boots and outer garments.
