Lacrosse Alpha Burly FLX. I don't want to admit it, but they are better than the original Grange. Uninsulated of course. Rubber coated neoprene is the ticket.

Are the Browning Kangaroo Boots still around?

Those things were nice.

Laugh at the Chucks if you must, but you can throw them right in the washing machine which is a plus for hot weather footwear IMO. :p

And they're cheap. Wally World knockoffs even cheaper.

A good pair of snake boots around here.

Irish Setter 200g. boots ("shadow trek"?). I figure I'll sweat no matter what I wear, and the 200g. insulation gives a wide range of comfort. They're a bit stiff for stalking, but they're comfortable as all get out. When it gets real cold, my Danner Pronghorns in 1000g.

Vibram Five Fingers.

Hellz yeah! Chucks are the poor man's moccasin.

I wear the LaCrosse Alpha Burleys too. Of course, I don't hunt if it's 90 outside either lol..

Another Bean uninsulated.(nut)

Zmonster · August 31, 2010, 02:32:00 PM

Most of the above mentioned are great choices.

I use Danner pronghorns, Uninsulated Bean's and The vibram 5 fingers. All depends where exactly Im going, what Im doing and which ones are closer to me when Im grabbing for a set. Ive even used my issued Blackhawk tactical desert boots.

Missouri Bowman · August 31, 2010, 06:13:00 PM

LL Bean, what else.

Zbearclaw · August 31, 2010, 07:02:00 PM

Merrell GTX Chameleon mid heights.

Have hunted AZ, AK, CA, and GA. Awesome boot with great heel cup and vibram sole. Swift, silent, and deadly...

I`ll be wearing moccasins alot this year.I wore them a couple of times last year,and they were comfortable.

Sam McMichael · August 31, 2010, 08:11:00 PM

Snakeboots. Other than that I use a pair of field shoes ordered from The Sportsman's Guide for $59.00. The field shoes are very comfortable for casual walking, and I don't have any steep, rough terrain that calls for special ankle support.

cohutta orange · August 31, 2010, 08:35:00 PM

merrell chameleons also

August 31, 2010, 08:41:00 PM

what ! no flip flops ?

levibear · August 31, 2010, 08:46:00 PM

I have a new pair they look like camo cross training shoes, they are made by danner. I bought them from Cabelas, we will see how well they work.

VTer · August 31, 2010, 09:12:00 PM

Some 8" Bean boots for early season in VT which is Oct. If it was 90 out, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be hunting.

njloco · August 31, 2010, 09:15:00 PM

Don't know the name of them but they are from Cabela's, I tried looking them up but couldn't find them. They are sneakers inside a rubber boot, you tie the sneaker first then just zip up the boot, they are attached to each other. Very comfortable and light.
