Undecided on a great many things
What are your favorite hunting boots?
Wet boots - I have old Rubber hunting boots that lasted for 10 years but they are heavy and semi hard on my knee sometimes. I got Muck boots kind of a lighter replacement for warmer weather and the cloth on the uppers is peeling off the neoprene on the second year. Maybe it's the camo cloth instead of getting the black. Seemed to happen after cutting a tree up last winter. Not really tough enough.
Deer boots - I got Cabelas Full Draw boots, lightly insulated, easy to walk in. I just use quilted boots when it's cool. Easy to walk and climb ladders and easy on my knee. 2nd year and too much walking and sole was delamination on one foot and had to shoe goo it back together. I have hiking shoes doing the same thing before I can wear the tread off the soles. I am getting very leary of these glued on soles. I have Carolina boots that are 20 years old I use them for wood cutting and still kicking anything I put in front of them. I am thinking of going back to an insulated leather boot, stitched to the sole, for bow hunting and soaking it in mink oil.
What are your suggestions for quality waterfowl or deer boots? I've grown pretty tired of some of the crap boots I've bought in the past ten years.
