Just about everywhere I hunt there is a stream(s) that I need to cross, I think it's quieter and safer just to walk through than try to dance from rock to rock.
I bought a pair of Alpha Burly Sports to replace my 8year old Burly boots that had seen better days. The new boots are much lighter it's almost like wearing sneakers
They go on and come off easily. Until someone invents a waterproof material that "breathes" as fast as I can sweat I'll keep wearing them
Just be careful if you mail order them, I found they run small. I usually wear a size 12, my new boots are size 13
