Warm Waterproof Boots

[Bigboy]

Looking for suggestions for warm waterproof boots used primarily for deer rifle season. Something that I can walk in without being too clunky.
Done with the removable felt liner rubber boots I think

Thanks

If the water is less than ankle deep and I am doing more walking than sitting then my go to boots would be my Danner Canadian, made in USA with gore tex liners.

If the water is more than a few inches but less than a foot deep and I am doing more sitting than walking then I use my muck rubber boots and layer extra socks as required.

If I am wading through creeks then I use gore tex chest waders, layer extra socks as required.

If its below freezing and I am walking on ice with no chance of breaking through and getting my boots wet then I use my surplus CF felt lined pac boots.

I hunt 90B, so it is not like I am battling extreme temperatures, but I really like my Redhead bone-dry insulated waterproof hunting boots. The model I have is more of a upland boot design, as I do a lot of walking in deer drives and go in some creeks. But I have been very happy with them so far, can't go wrong with the price either

Where I hunt on any given day one will not know if they are going to be walking in an inch of water or 10 inches, so for me the old rubber boots and yes felt liners are the best way to go. I know they can be a bit clunky but you have to ask yourself, how much walking will I be doing. I always have spare liners dry and ready to go. All these fancy, overly expensive boots are either to short or in some cases to long, if they are to short and you get them wet inside, you have down time getting them dry. A lot of the new longer boots are not always that warm. If you get the boots covered in blood getting the new ones cleaned off are not that easy.

I mostly wear 800gr Irish setter rut master rubber boots. They are tight on the ancles for better support.
Next up is my Irish setter elk tracker leather boots. Great ancle support as well.

I have been battling shin splints and ancle pain this fall so I didn't do much exploring (overuse injury). lol

If I could get any winter boot this would be it.

Unfortunately, I will need to save for awhile. Just like my plans for new top of the line Hyperlite 2s for men's league

Side note: I purchased some 8inch Lowa for this hunting season. Maybe called Renegade?? Really happy, with the comfort and waterproofing. Used in 11B archery moose, 63A rifle moose, 2nd week 63A deer, 70 controlled. Was also wearing them around on wet sh!++y days.

I really like my Kodiak composite safety boots for bush stompin' when it's wet or a skiff of snow on the ground,but,for really cold weather with ice and deep snow,my go-to are Baffin snowmobile boots for Coyote hunting and ice fishing. I always have a spare set of liners with me,too,just in case.

My favourite for trapping, ice fishing, and deer hunting if I'm worried about getting my feet wet. Not as bulky as big Baffins if you have to walk a bit. They have a nice wool liner but I like to wear a Bama sock in them as well. They are durable as well. I'd like to kick the media marketting people from Irish Setter, Danner, Rocky, Cabelas, etc. right in the sac (from behind). I've tried every boot possible and there is no such thing as a waterproof leather/cordura/Gortex boot. If you stand in water they will leak (usually at the bottom of the tongue where it joins the tongue). Same with any brand of workboot that I've owned. Mildly water resistant is about as good as it gets. I don't care how much mink oil, dubbin, or snowseal you paste on them. Rubber is the only way to go if you're in to water. Before parting, I'd give the Gortex guy a second frontal kick in the sac. The bs marketting statement is false that Gortex "breathes". I'm soaked in any Gortex jacket or raingear I've ever tried. It might be ok if you're a person with a bmi of 10 with no body fat and you lack the ability to sweat!

They better last for 20 years.

I’ve been wearing a pair of Bogs midweight hunting boots for about 4 years now. They’ve held up very well. No liners, keep the feet reasonably warm and they have enough room to toss a hand warmer in the toe on the colder days. I liked them so much I bought a pair of the winter bogs for the later season hunts and for ice fishing. I also keep a pair of Danner Canadians for the early season stuff or when I need something very secure on my feet but those bogs get picked 90 percent of the time these days. When they pack it in I’ll be buying another pair!
