Bought me some Alpha-Burlys...
 

These boots were really confortable in the store. More confortable than I ever expected a rubber boot could be.I picked them up for a $100 at Gander, I was hesitant, but new that I needed some new hunting boots and remember some of you guys on here speaking highly of them. ONe thing I was concerned with was no "thinsulate", but it has "natural" neoprene insulation.. Granted we dont have Extreme winters here, we can get some prtty cold mornings.

I got the Alphaburly Sport style 200005 RT Hardwoods. Anybody else have these? How are they holding up?

Any Lacrosse = Good.

Ive had mine for 3 years and besides the camo worn off the toe of the boot, they look brand new. Foot is gettin too big for em, so Ill likely have to get a new pair sometime soon.

good choice.....i got some abs 1000g. love em!!

yeah man i gotta get me some uninsulated as well.

RE: Bought me some Alpha-Burlys...
 

i just posted a "review" on them (atleast i thought i did) i couldnt locate it anywhere though lol....

i just got the 800gram....worn them coonhunting (chasing hounds) the last few weeks....long walks...steep hills, up down, brush, thickets, woods, creeks, swamps, up and over downed trees etc etc....havent had them LONG....but boy i love them....

only complaint is 800 is too much for coon hunting...gotta order an unisulated pair next time around for coonhunting and major walking events...bowhunting, i dont foresee a problem with normal walks to the stand and such...


felt a little funky at first...just because they were lightweight and more....form fitting...than "rubber boots" and the neoprene/rubber tops is tighter and more flexible than "rubber boots" after i got over that i fell in love....ive probably put more wear on them in about 2 weeks coonhunting than most bowhunters will in a year....i just walk a good bit over ALOT of different terrain...and do it quick getting to treed hounds...dont know many bowhunters that bust the briar patch and monkey climb big downed trees and rough the terrain like i do when im coonhunting....mine still look brand new

Make sure you get a boot dryer and dry them out after every hunt or they will rot from the inside out and start to leak.

RE: Bought me some Alpha-Burlys...
 

I think I'll grow tierd of mine before they wear out. Why they aren't all tore up by now is a mystery to me.

I've got the same boots but in MO Break Up. They were a bit hot in early September but now that the temps are dropping, no problem. They are super comfortable though.

I had a pair a couple of years ago. They just couldn't stand up to all the mesquite thorns in Tx. I loved how lightweight and comfortable they were. They just weren't tough enough. I now wear a pair of BassPro Bayou zip up snake boots. They have been holding up to the thorns very well. If I ever start hunting land without all the sharp stuff I will own another pair of Alpha Burleys.

Nice, I am due for some new boots. I have to go with the 1200 gram due to how chilly it is up here in Minnesota.

RE: Bought me some Alpha-Burlys...
 

I got the alpha lights last year and really dont like them at all, the neoprene about the rubber rips way to easily, i spring a leak on the first hunt. Im thinking that i'll own a pair of alpha-burlys before the season opens up here, went all last year on wet feet![:@]

I have been wearing the AB sport for years. On my 3rd pair. Favorite boots ever. Like wearing sneakers.

Hey guys, just got me a new pair of 1000gram Realtree at cabelas on sale 79.99. They only have a few sizes left.

RE: Bought me some Alpha-Burlys...
 

I'm on my 5th year with a pair of Alpha Burlys. I do like the boots. I was looking at the new Alpha Burlys and they seem a little heavier than my old ones. Still a great rubber boot that don't flop all around when you're walking. The neophreme lining and the straps to tighten the top are then nuts. FOr real fridgid weather I wear a pair of Danners or some real heavy insulated Rockys.

I just bought a pair of Alpha Burlys this on Friday.. I decided I wanted to try rubber boots for the first time in several years,, I always hated them,, but felt the need to try them again for scent prevention. I also had it in my mind that I would NEVER pay $100 for rubber boots,, and went to BP to buy a pair of cheap Red Heads and they had the Alpha Burly on sale,, I tried them on,, and took them home, they are the most comfortable boot Ive worn. I spent the last 3 days hunting in them and have to say they are great.. But they do stay wet inside for a while, you have to dry them out after hunting in them.

Tried a par of 1500’s last year when it was way cold, like minus 10-20 below 0. I got hot walking in them and cold when I sat in the stand. Feet froze literally!

I would dry them out with a boot dryer, change socks when I got to my stand, nothing worked so returned them. Only way I can hunt in cold weather with rubbers is when the temps are mild, like above freezing…

Thought they were heavy also, at 5 lbs that just to heavy for a long walk, maybe the lights would have been better in this department.

I did like the form fitting ankle support though! That felt great!
