Hunting boots...

Try the Under Armour HAW 2.0. My favorite boots I have ever worn! Have a great heal cup and feel amazing. Many of my friends have bought them as well and are really happy with them. Nice to have the neoprene tops and a hard bottom. Make them great for duck hunting or deer. The good thing is they are scent locked to. They offer them in a 400g insulation and a 800 I believe as well.

I use exclusively Under Armour products and do not like the HAW 2.0. boot. It hurts wearing them on the back of my heel and ankle area. Most uncomfortable boot i have ever worn. Muckboot Wetland is my boot of choice but they can tear very easily if you get yourself into thorny thickets. Paid $100 plus tax for the MuckBoots.

Cant get my head around the idea of spending hundreds of dollars on a pair of mostly made Chinese boots,Kamik boots are Canadian made and good to below -40, your lining gets wet simply put a dry one in,they also dont leave much scent behind.

I agree with you Gilroy on this as do most of the guys in out hunt camp...those boots are perfect for the conditions in early Nov. The liners all hang by the fireplace a night to dry.

I personally don't wear them when I'm dogging because they don't give my feet enough support, but they work well to sit in the stand for the evening hunt as long as it's not too cold..

Also a good boot for around camp, easy slip on/off for runs to the outhouse and wood pile

Watch eBay you can usually get dancers for around 200

I am in with the Canadian Tire felt lined rubber boots. Dont wear 3 pair of socks and feet keep warm in -30. I wear them every weekend out on Simcoe never get cold feet ever Sitting in stand perfect

La Crosse is a good brand .
Using pair of Grange-non insulated boots for 9 seasons. Still going strong. Using them all year(scouting, looking for sheds, tree preparation and early season hunts)
Insulated Alpha Burly Sport boots with 8oo gr insulation and neoprene top are with me since 2008.With a BPS life time wool socks they are good to -20C
Both excellent ,high boots, very egronomical design.Easy to walk in them,good calf support, easy to go off-on. They dry overnight.
Someone mentioned cracking LaCrosse boots- maybe later models are not as good.......?
They so far work for me.

Might not be the best but good enough for me. I even use them for dogging as my feet are not that fancy.
I was used to buy more expensive boots, no more than 200$ though, but they didn't last more than those one and were not any warmer.

I got onto the Irish Setter Rutmasters with 1200 gram thinsulate. I have had my pair for 4 years without issue. They are plenty warm in the treestand and great when a blood trail runs through a bog (or my buddy's because mine never go that far haha, right?).
I use them for ice fishing as well with a good pair of socks and no problem 8 hours standing on ice.
These are my pick anyways...and you can get them on sale at Sail for 150 or less.

Work just fine for about 80% of the hunting I do. My biggest problem used to be sweating while walking in, cold toes about 2 hours later. I've found that the right combination of wool socks has more or less taken care of that. Always remember to take the liners out to dry in the evening.

For the other 20%, late season archery or really cold days during gun season, these boots have been really good:

Not completely waterproof like the "green boots" but most of the water is hard in December anyway. Wait for them to go on sale and you can pick them up for around 80 bucks. I can get quite a few late seasons out of the TSC boots and replace the Canadian Tire boots 3 times over for less than the price of some of these premium boots.

Depends on what type of hunting you're doing though I guess. My choices are mainly for walking in to a stand and sitting for a few hours. Probably not the best choice for someone who walks all day.
