Default rubber boots....what's your favorite

I'm looking to get some rubber boots for bow hunting. I want to make my first purchase a good one and not learn by "trial and error" like I usually do.
I want comfort first, something I can wear all day. My feet do get cold fast also so warmth is a consideration.
Any input would be greatly appreciated...........thanks guys

I purchased the LaCross Alpha Burly Sports last fall and loved them. They have a running shoe type sole and are very comfortable and light. They are made of a neoprene and lined with fleece. I used them in temps down to about 20 degrees and my feet did start to get a little cold, but would be perfect in a little warmer weather. I believe the Alpha series is being made this year in a warmer Thinsulate model, so I may buy another pair in the 1000gram model for the cold stuff. They are the most comfortable rubber boots I have ever worn. I have herd that Muck Boots are great also, but have never tried them.

Make that 2 votes for the LaCrosse Burly's. Very warm and comfortable. The thing I like most about them is that they fit snug around the ankle. They also have an adjustment strap around the calf, so you can snug them up. I wouldn't wear anything else.

I have a pair of bone dry, a red head brand i think. They have 1000 grams of thinsulate and were reasonably priced. I like them very much

If you are looking to get comfortable and warm boots, why do they have to be rubber in the first place?

I just picked up some Lacrosse Burly ATS 800 gram thinsulate boots during last ML season. Only had a few hunts with them, my season got cut short due to a death in the family. I'll be putting some more miles on them this turkey season tho...

I wore a pair of burlys for years and years, but am now sold on muck boots. Easiest pair of rubber boots to put on and pull off that I have ever seen.

Northerners have treated me well. When I did alot of flyfishing back east, I would only buy their hipboots, I found out that they made a rubber hunting boot, I bought a pair, and now will never buy anthing else. They are warm and the rubber lasts for years.
