I also hunt in a boggy area and like to cover a lot of ground. For me, rubber boots were never an option due to their discomfort and bulk. One day, however, I was at a Gander Mountain and they had these LaCrosse Alpha Series boots. They are more like a Neoprene than a cheap rubber - and they were super light. So I thought I'd try one on, just to quell my curiosity.

Well, to say the least, they feel like bedroom slippers on your feet. They are more comfy than my Rocky Boots - and lighter. As for warmth, I bought the uninsulated pair, b/c I needed them for early archery and turkey - so your toes get a little chilly if it's frosty out. Buy yourself a pair of these and say goodbye to wet, muddy pantlegs forever. Never fear another mudpuddle or stream crossing either.

I was never a rubber boot guy before, but these things are fantastic.
