What kind of boots

Out west I prefer lace up leather and gaiters. I just walk too many miles for rubber boots. Been using Zamberlan boots for about 20 years, just bought a new pair 2 yeas ago; absolutely love them. For gaiters I use  KUIU because they're all camo, super comfortable and fairly affordable. I did put a hole in one though; had to use a wader patch. Treat my gaiters with permethrin and keep an eye out for rattlesnakes.

Lacrosse Grange is the only way to go as far as im concerned. ive had many diff boots too.

and for the ones who cant walk far in them, idk, maybe its just me, but I average 10-12 miles per day hunting Mississippi public land and my feet feel good! I have even used them in Idaho elk hunting as a back up pair when my main boots got wet.

Whew! I just looked up those Kenetreks... for that kind of money they should come with a guy who'll gladly tote you across any branches,creeks, or mud holes. Heck he should even help carry the bird at least halfway out.

I'm with you, I put a bunch of miles on my new pair yesterday looking for sheds. I think I could even wear them in the mountains but I like something a little more breathable.

Good boots just takes awhile to break in

Well I just got me some boots tonight.  They're UA Ops something or other.  Hiking type mid ankle boot wrapped with gaitor type material that go up as far as a regular rubber.  I know Cabela's has or had a pair like it. "Suppose" to be waterproof, but I doubt stand in a steam for a while waterproof.  We'll see, they're comfortable and nice and light.

Kicker, was just walking buy them and noticed they had a green dot on them which means on super clearance ( they were away from all the rest of the clearance).  Tag said $199 on sale already, lady scans it for me...$49 :drool:  Add my $10 reward cash, sold.

If I'm turkey hunting, I wear Danner Pronghorn snake boots.

Russell Turkey Hunter snakeboots for me. Took about 50 miles to break in but are very comfortable now, and will last me years and years. The most comfortable snakeboots I ever owned were a pair of Cabela's brand, they stopped making them though, and once they bit the dust I was left looking for a new pair. Bought a pair of Danner Pronghorn snakeboots and they rubbed my ankles something terrible. Even broke in they were the most uncomfortable pair of boots I've ever owned. Learned the Pronghorns are not made in America anymore, but Danner allowed me to swap them out (two years removed from the fact) for any pair of equal value. Found a couple pairs that Danner still makes in America, forget what they are called, but all leather mid tops, and they are super comfy. If I didn't wear the Russell's I'd wear my Lacross Grange, they are awesome but I want snake protection where I hunt...
