Best rubber boots I ever bought.
Just recieved my new rubber boots from Cabelas. I bought the Lacrose ALPHA series rubber/neoprene mixed boots. Very light (3.8 lb), and EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE. Cushiony soul and soft form fitting ankle support. This is a boot you dont even need to wear socks in. My wife even tried them on and said she wanted a pair for herself for when she goes scouting with me this fall.
The only drawback is they may be a little warm for the early season because of the neoprene inside. If light weight and comfort are what you are looking for, i doubt these can be beat.

RE: Best rubber boots I ever bought.
benhunting,
I to am a fan of Lacrose boots! What kind of calf gusset on on the new boot? The one problem that I have is my extra large (round) calfs. I currently have the BIG BOY Burly which they don' t make any more. I' ve tried the regular Lacrose boot with the gusset on the side and they are just to tight. DE. Hunter

DE, it has a back gusset with an adjustable cam-lock buckle. All I can say is maybe give it a try. I have good sized calfs myself and they are very comfortable.

RE: Best rubber boots I ever bought.
I am thinking about buying a pair of these for the upcoming season. I live in central Illinois and I was wondering if they would be warm enough to wear during the winter months?

I agree that the new neoprene based rubber boots look great. I got the Muck Boot Co.' s " Woody" model. They are light weight and extremely easy on and off. They have a lining material said to be breathable and should be warm enough for all but the coldest of Oklahoma weather. They stretch for oversize calf which I need as well.

I also went with the Muck Fieldmaster boots and love them. I bought them in time to wear turkey season, and my feet were actually cooler than when I wore my Lacrosse Viper? snake rubber boots.

RE: Best rubber boots I ever bought.
Technology is a wonderful thing. My only question would be, is your foot able to breath? Any neoprene products I have used in the past did not allow my skin to breath.
