I've got a pair of either the Lacrosse uninsulated Grange or Burleys that I've probably been using in excess of 25 years. (Can't remember which, I think one was 16" and the other 18"). Most comfortable rubber boot I've owned.  Last year I had to retrieve a big doe that was stubborn enough to expire in the middle of a shallow river.  The boots are starting to look about as old as I am, but my feet didn't get wet until I waded into water over the tops.  Even then, the tops were snug enough around my calves that very little water got in. Nuff said, I'll get another pair if these die before I do!

terry try diving boots they fit any shape foot and if its cold they keep ya warm. i wear mine when deer hunting and they are so comfy.  

another vote for the Lacrosse brand.  I have a pair of the regular green uninsulated and a pair of heavy insulated camo.  They both fit my small ankles nice and snug and although I bought them for hunting the flat crop fields of Indiana; they are comfortable enough and fit well enough that I'll be using them in the steep mountains of WV this year.

Muck Boots are top notch. I got mine from the Muck Boot Outlet in Tenn. Free shipping. If they don't fit, send them back. 800 phone number. I didn't go hog wild, just bought a very basic camo pair for about $90.00. Have used them for two years. Most comfortable rubber boot I've ever worn. Easy on, easy off. Cabela's has them in their catalog. Heck Terry, I thought you were buying a pair when I got mine.

Good luck and "Keep'Um Sharp".

Another vote for Lacrosse, I have the Alpha's and also the heavy insulated burly's. Great fit, never a blister wearing them. The Alpha's are actually so comfortable, they feel like a high top running shoe !

Lacrosse Burleys are the only rubber boot that aint sock walkers, I have a pair of 1200 gr Thinsulate models that I can hunt all day in and not have the things dog walk my socks down.

If you're looking for a warm weather rubber knee boot, I'd recommend the "Alpha Burly Sport" for light weight and comfort. I spent a week in Alberta chasing moose over alot of country, and they were great.

You might want to check out Viking boots.  They are made in Norway and are great quality.

I got myself a pair of muck boots.I wanted to try them before the hunting season. As I do all new things I get for the new hunting season.these boots are good in dry conditions an feel great on my feet.they are supper light weight.I was shocked to see how bad they performed on wet rocks.I almost busted my rear end several times while crossing a stream. they are very slipery. Iam going to see how thet do on a wet treestand about 1 ft above the ground.they do feel real good on the feet.It may just wind up being a good blind boot.

I have had lacrosse and cabelas brand rubber boots. I now had a pair of muck wood max boots and they are superior in my opinion and work best for me. I plan to buy the lighter version so I have warm and colder weather pairs.

Some form of Lacrosse would be a good place to start. The original non insulated fit like a second skin, definitely boot jack worthy.

Any opinions on Cabelas Pinnacle Zipper Hunting Boots with gore-tex and scent lock? Snakeproof uninsulated $149.00 I need a swampy boot this fall that won't eat socks or my feet,

Those BassPro ones with the zipper don't hold up well.

Terry, I swore by the old uninsulated LaCrosse "Burley" for years ... the old green boots with the narrow yellow stripe at the top.  They were my #1 choice for spring bear hunting and did surprisingly well during deer season.  BUT, I went through a period where they contributed to chronic leg spasms.  My calf muscles would often cramp up whenever I pulled, yanked, and otherwise tried to pry them off.  They fit tight.  I now use Muck Wetlands which seem to be a good compromise for me - no more leg cramps as they're very easy to take off.

Many thanks guys....I'll take it all into advisement!.....much appreciate the 4 pages worth of info...surely I can find a pair that will work for me.

Thanks again.  

I was Cabibou hunting with some guys that wore Muck Boots all day long chasing Caribou, they loved them.

oops .. thats Caribou

Terry, MUCK boots.  Best ones out there that I have found.  I wear rubber boots nearly every day either between work or hunting.  These are the most comfortable, and the easiest to get on and off your feet that I have found.  I wear a pair hunting and can sit in a treestand from light till dark in temperatures that are just under 30 degrees.  I like them so much...I have a separate pair that I wear nearly daily while pouring concrete. The pair I have for concrete is 5 years old, and still going great.  The pair I have for hunting are around 7 years old...and they too are great.

By the way...I do think rubber boots help cut down on ground scent but maybe not as much as people think.  I have a buddy who raised a racoon from birth.  He would go out every morning to hunt in the woods right around his house. He had over 20 treestands setup.  Eventually, after he had been in his stand for an hour or two...his girlfriend would let the racoon out of the house. He told me that in every single case, that racoon would track him right to his stand and climb up in the tree with him.  Did not matter which stand he was in.  Because of this, it is obvious to me that rubber boots do not eliminate ground scent...but I still think they help lessen it somewhat.

One word.....

Love em, they are the wear anywhere rubber boot for SE AK. Nice fit and conform well without being all floppy at the ankles. They're good for stalking, quiet, and feel more like sneakers than rubber boots.
