RE: knee hi boots
I don't think that neoprene would stand up well against thorns, barbed wire, etc. I'd go rubber.

From Bass Pro about 45 bucks - Red Head Bone Dry
are 1000 gram thinsulate - slip on and off better than LaCrosse - take a beating - are rubber with fabric camo - I wear them year round with a thin pair of cotton and a heavy wool sock - I wear them when I judge dogs even in summer. On my second pair as they last me about 4 to 5 yrs. Has an aggressive sole for slippery conditions. JW |

RE: knee hi boots
I agree with you. I think the quality of the rubber is worse since they startedimporting La Crosse boots. My US made pair of Burleys has lasted me several years. While I got cracks in my imported Granges after only a year. I still think that neoprene is more suseptable to being ripped.

My neoprene boots stand up pretty good to throns and heavey brush and they are comfortable enough to wear all day. Keeps feet warm and dry.

RE: knee hi boots
I prefer rubber hip waders when reading some of the posts here(Not this thread).But seriously I would have to say neoprene also.

Rubber. I wear them all the time, including all day quail hunts in briars.

I can only speak from limited experience. I can only wear out a pair of boots so quickly. My old Burleys lasted about 8 yrs. I have a pair of ruvbber grange boots, about 3 years, and a new pair of the alpha burleys (neoprene/rubber cross) 2 years. I have been impressed with the comfort and reliability of the LaCrosse products. I had a buddy who got a pair of the Cabela's rubber boots, but he found them uncomfortable.

I bought a pair of LaCrosse insulated boots (1800 gram thinsulate)for a trip to Alaska. Heavy for walking but the warmest boots I've ever owned.
