Has too much time on their hands
Boot suggestions
I need new boots.. I am looking for a pair of quality general use hunting boots.
Prefer 600-800gr thinsulate.
Not a fan of rubber boots.. use then for stomping through EVERYTHING.. rivers, snow, mud etc...
Uhh also use then for ice fishing.. but that's not really a deciding factor(don't fish often)
What are your suggestions? I've gone through to many boots recently.. my last pair lasted a hunt.

nothing can beat bare feet, but if your not as badass as me
fill a garbage bag full of feathers and step in with normal shoe, make sure no feathers are under shoe. tie and ur good to go till u see feathers in your footprints... double or triple bag if necessary.
on a serious note these are the boots i just bought: http://www.basspro.com/RedHead-Trekk...duct/10206515/
they are not insulated but i got the WIDE version to fit thick socks maybe even double sock it.

Wife say her uncle can make you a pair....I won't think they are water proof, in fact you may want to stay away from water..at least any that is over you head.
But on the plus side they could be the last pair you'll ever wear...last like concrete......will that could be because they are.....concrete.
Seem she is blaming you for wrecking her vacation next year with a moose hunt...
Take the warning labels off. Darwin will solve the problem.

I started wearing these last year http://www.kenetrek.com/Kenetrek-Mou...s/products/12/. They aren't cheap but are they are some of the best boots I have ever owned. Don't go by the price on the website, I know people that have found them as cheap as $350.
I treat mine with http://www.obenaufs.com/heavy-duty-lp/ and they are as close to rubber as I have ever had for being waterproof.
I spent the early part of my career in mineral exploration in northern Canada so I have gone through my share of boots and I wish I would have had these back then.
I have owned Danner Pronghorns, Irish Setter Elk Trackers, Vasque's and countless other boots. The only boots I own or have owned that come close to the Kennetrek's are my Russell's. A couple of the pro dog trainers and guides I know that make their living on their feet swear by their Kennetrek's.

I think you need to ask what type of application do you intend on using them. I hunt alot of property where I have to cross a river to get to my stands so I wear the neoprene type rubber boot 18" high. With the new sport chassis and form fitted ankle area they are quite comfortable to wear all day. I have two pairs of lacrosse one with no insl. the other with 800 grams and if needed in really cold weather I just throw a set of the toe warmers from CT in them (never an issue easy to repair and 4 years going strong).
