Looking to buy a pair of rubber boots. Looking for comfort for walking long distance and not so hot in warmer weather.
Thanks in advance.

My son got some Tingleys like these last year and really likes them. I might have to try some out for myself...

I got some Lacrosse's last year that were comfortable, but they tore apart after two seasons. I'd stay away from them now

I'm a big fan of the Lacrosse grange boots. And I'm a walker. Pair those uninsulated with the right moisture wicking socks and your in business.

I own a pair of Muck Stealth Cool boots. I really like them. Good for warmer weather wear.
Muck are the best by a mile. And they stand behind the product. You can usually get a good discount code if you order direct.

Maybe that's where I messed up, not getting the Grange. I tried the alpha agility's
My experience is this,
Mucks are comfortable but quality is not what it was.
Lacrosse hurt my feet... My feet so that probably won't be your case.
Itasca is a good boot and comfortable.
Dryshod is what I'm wearing now and my impression is it's a better Muck at a better price.
Mucks!
Lacrosse Alpha Burly's, I'd steer clear of any other Lacrosse that have alot of neoprene like the Aeroheads. I had a pair of another Lacrosse I bought in 2010 and the neoprene started leaking at the seam where it met the rubber within a few years. Tried repairing it to no avail. I feel like the Alpha Burly's offer the most support compared to the Burly and the Grange. Tried Mucks and took them back, maybe it's just my foot but they had WAY too much room in them and I was rolling my ankle from the lack of support. Sportsmans Warehouse took them back and it turned out they had a defect that I didn't notice so it worked out.

I bought pair of these last year, and they are awesome. You will not be disappointed in these boots..
Good luck.
Never heard of a rubber boot being cool in warmer weather.
I have used Lacrosse for years. I always get the non insolated. They make a rubber conditioner that will help them last longer.
I think the quality of must boots are going down. Rubber breaks down faster. Snake boots you pay a premium for only waterproof for a few hunts..... List goes on and on.
LaCrosse grange. They last a very long time. But like any other rubber boot your feet will sweat when its hot. And if you wear them in the winter you'd swear they would put yeti out of business if they made ice chest out them!

Nice! He threw one at me, and I flinched. I was surprised how light they were.

Ditto....
Lacrosse aerolites. May be better out there but best balance I've found for price, footbed for long walking, light weight, comfort, durability/longevity. I've put up to 160 miles a turkey season and a full 3.5 month deer season on mine, usually get at least two years a pair that way. No leak issues with them. If you are rough on boots and don't look out for barb wire then get the grange. The problem with most full rubber boots is they don't flex well at the heel and that makes a big difference when seated against a tree. Have had repeat issues with mucks leaking.
