Boots... Need some help finding a comfortable turkey hunting boot

[jakeman45]

when i go turkey or deer hunting i like to wear theese rubber boots there snake boots but boy they sure are comfortable and reliable. It might be your socks.

Another vote for Lacrosse Alpha burlys here.
A few reasons I use them:
Weight-3.5lbs

Flexible-bend at the ankles well, when sitting against a tree with regular rubber boots I always hated the confining stiff ankle area.

Footbed-Hiking boot style footbed sure makes 4-6 miles of walking a day much better on your feet.

I also use a thin set of polypropylene liner socks under a thin set of cotton socks during warm hunts. Cotton socks may be damp but feet will still be dry and blister free no matter how much walking I've done and I do alot.

Same here.....

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

EVERY BODY'S  FEET ARE DIFFERENT THOUGH
JUST GO TO  A STORE WITH ALOT OF DIFFERENT ONES AND TRY THEM ALL

THEN LOOK FOR THE BEST PRICE
GOOD LUCK

They aren't snake boots but I also recommend the Lacrosse Alpha Burlys. I bought my first pair late last year to wear rabbit hunting, which most of the time requires alot of walking. I will be wearing them this upcoming turkey season too because of the comfort and they are lightweight which also means alot.

I use the Cabelas Pinnacle snake boots

I too, have a pair of lacrosse alpha burlys, but i dont see how u fellas call em light. I think they weigh slightly less than cinder blocks on my feet! I love em for bowhunting where im doing little walking, mostly to stand and back out. For turkey, its my muck wetlands, hands down.  Prob weigh half what those alphas do. Later in spring as the ground dries and i do alot more run and gun i switch to standard lightweight hiking boots. Feet sweat alot walking in rubber and even with moisture wicking socks i dont care for the wetness in the boot. So i wear the mucks when i need the rubber and switch to hiking boots as soon as conditions permit.

Also our local BassPro has the Danner Pronghorn snakeboots for $139

I have a pair of Muck Field Blazer Boots and find them to be very comfortable.

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've owned a couple of pairs of Danner Pronghorns, so here is my $0.02.  There are very comfortable if you don't need a lot of support (i.e, any type of mountain hunting).  They are light and flexible but not much for support.  For South Dakota terrain, they might be just fine.   There are plenty of people that really like them.

If I was going to buy a boot in that style and price range I would seriously consider these:   http://www.cabelas.com/product/Cabelas-Uninsulated-Ultralight-Hunter-Boots-by-Meindl/1237095.uts?WTz_l=SBC%3BMMcat104797980%3Bcat104826780%3BMCcat105543180
