Im in the market for a pair of boots to mostly be worn during turkey season. I want a style of boot like a "muck" brand boot, easy to slip on and off. My problem is with this style boot is that I wear the inside heel of the boot out and after a short while this gets uncomfortable badly and there is just no way to do alot of walking in a boot like that. Any advice on how to deal with this problem, am I getting the wrong size? Not wearing the right socks? Any suggestions on boots to try? Thanks in advance :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an

I'd say you probably have the wrong size. I've been wearing Muck Boots for years. I actually can wear regular socks with then and have no trouble. They have been the best boots for me.

Get a good pair of ankle fit boots that fit your feet. I've had LaCrosse Alpha Burlys and Irish Setter. I'm currently in the Irish Setters and they did great last year. My brother in law has a pair of Cabela's rubber boots and he loves them, but they don't fit my feet for crap. Experiment, and don't forget your local shoe shops. That's where I got my Irish Setters at and they were cheaper than Cabelas.  :anim_25:

I bought muck boots a few years back and got them a little big to fit extra socks.. theres the mistake because when not wearing lots of socks like a warm spring morning my heel has too much room and wore the back out as well. Now it rubs

Ive been wear lace ups for deer but its time for a new pair of turkey boots. Ive been looking at the Muck excursion hiker and Lacrosse alpha SSTs for a lower lighter boot. the knee highs can get so hot and clunky on a low warm spring bird hunt. I will definently get them propper sized for light socks and.

Here ya go.  Best deal I've found on muck boots.  The most comfortable pull on style boot I have ever worn and I've gone through them all.

Try wearing a liner sock inside of a wool boot sock. I know it sounds hot, but the liner wicks the sweat away, and you really don't notice the heat. My Alpha Burly's right on down to my snake boots feel just like a good pair of Nike's or New Balance's with this combo.

I like the Muck Woody Max. These are the most comfortable boots I have owned.

For turkey hunting I love the LaCrosse Grange uninsulated. They aren't snake boots though.

I just got a pair of Rocky silent stalkers for turkey season that should be nice on long hikes and warm days.. Could use a new pair of mucks too for those wet days but i can get one more season out of the old ones probably

I am in the market for a new pair of boots for my South Dakota Trip in April   I was looking at the Danner Pronghorns, they look like they would be ideal.   Anyone have any expierience with them?  They have good reviews on the catlog web sites.

I just picked up a pair of wolverine king caribou iii. Weigh only 2.6lbs!! Might be a little warm with 800 insulate but goretex and super light!
