Time to replace my OLD Lacrosse rubber boots for next fall hunting. So many good options out there.
For a rubber based type of boot, I know I want neoprene uppers. Also prefer something that does not weigh
a ton (for these style boots anyway), I realize the more insultion the heavier they are. My feet get cold easy. Sweating
is not a huge issue for me, I barely sweat walking in the hot summer months, especially after cancer related issues.
So looking for a happy medium, not that such probably exists. Fire away with what you have and have learned, what treated
you well and what you would avoid. Also not opposed to the idea of a good non rubber boot that is at least very water resistant,
but still warm. Not going to be treading in water or streams or out in a swamp, at least not that I see based on where I hunt, but
in snow for sure at some point in the season. And, have to ask, do you "size up" so you can wear extra think socks?
