In need of rubber ninja boots, please help

I will never waste money on muck boots again. Every pair I've had didn't make it a season without the adhesive on the sole falling apart. I've had to use that shoe goo to keep them water tight. I have had luck with bog boots. My last pair made it four years before they dry rot cracked.

Even though I haven't yet saddle hunted I like a boot with a good ledge on the heel for hooking into steps. A heel also helps hook into the ground when depending a steep slope. The bogs I had lacked a good heel, which I noticed the difference the first trip into the woods.

I have LaCrosse AB's uninsulated that I wea early season. Once the rut begins and my strategy changes, so does my footwear. At this time I will be upping my chances of spooking deer by hunting closer to their beds and dinner plates. So to cut down on the noise I make when approaching my areas, I hunt barefooted from late October thru December 10th

Wow, badass huck. The opposite for me. The later it gets in the season the bigger my boots need to get to try to keep my little toes warm :p.

:tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy: I was wondering when someone was gonna respond to that nonsense. I guess the Indians hunted barefoot. I can barely walk on my driveway without shoes!
 
Has anyone ever tried the vibram shoes for sneaking in close? They are the ones with individual toes. I think they would be great for sneaking and stalking.

I have 2 pairs of the Bog bowman boots and like them. Super comfortable and well made as you said but they are heavy. 3rd season for the 1st pair and 2nd season for the other pair with no problems yet.
 
I think my next pair will be bog Sitkas. The cold rating isn't the highest but if they last a few seasons and are conformable like my bog classics were I'll be happy.
 
I'm really thinking of Dan's snake proof Froglegs. I like the idea of snake boot and crotch high waterproofing all in one.
