Hunting boots

[swampbuck62]

I mostly stand hunt but normally walk a mile or more to my stand, so finding a boot that is good for walking and will still keep your feet warm is tough..I have worn 100s of diff boots but have yet to find a compromise .


What you wearing and why...

i have a older set of bellevilles that i used in the military. love em, amazingly comfortable and have withsood many, many miles and both sandboxes lol. go through laces pretty good due to how they lace though. although, if i know the land where im hunting and i can get away with it i just rock a pair of tennis shoes unles its super cold lol.

closest they have now i can find http://www.bellevilleboot.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=53

Uninsulated Danners with a pair of medium weight Smartwool socks. Never wear cotton.

Down here it doesn't get cold enough to warrant much insulation, if any. A good wool sock, and comfortable boot is the ticket.

I got a pair of these a few weeks ago and the only complaint I have is, I wish I'd have gotten them sooner. Like you my walk is between 1 and 1.5 miles and the temperatures go from 28°to 50°in the same day.

have seen the ads for these how are they sized? sometimes with this type of boot you need to buy a half to a size smaller.

They only come in whole sizes and I would go somewhere and try them on. I got my regular size and they are about right.

Lacrosse Alpha's with snake protection. $150 insurance against a large hospital bill and a lot of pain and suffering. Snakes have no sense of humor.

Irish Setter boots I bought from Bass Pro. Pretty warm with a thick part of wool socks. Water proof and comfortable. Paid less than $100 I believe.
