Which rubber boot?

[Greg Massey]

Not meaning to offend anyone , but if rubber boots was all i had to turkey hunt with, i just get me a good pair of moccasins...I hate rubber insulated boots all of them are heavy and in the summer un insulated are hot...i just wear a good snake boot with insulated socks if needed or regular socks...

LaCrosse AeroHead 3.5 mm have been great for me. Wear them all spring and fall - climbing mountains in Pa & western Md.

I like the open top that cinches down after you get your leg  /pants in.

This is a bit off topic but it does pertain to boots. I'm a big guy and have big calves, I need a snake boot that has room for me and my pant legs, any suggestions? Thanks

I second the LaCrosse Aerohead - here in Montana I use the 3.5 mm most of the time, but also have a pair of 7 mm for colder conditions. It's a unique design that is quite different from other rubber boots.

I am a fan of the danner pronghorn. I do a lot of weightlifting and I don't skip leg day but they seem to work well. Can't say that I have huge calves tho. Had bad luck with Rockies. Could walk across a dew drenchedvfield and my feet would be soaked fifty yards in. The dangers have held up well and are better suited to me than rubber boots for being able to walk quietly

I love my Rutmasters too but I won't replace them with the new model. A buddy who recommended the old Rutmasters got the new model and he can't last 4 months in them without the boot failing and coming apart. He just gets them replaced for free otherwise he'd switch. The new ones with the side buckle are junk.

If you can find the older back buckle ones I'd say go for it, they're great.

Also - I use these on days I know I'll be in dewy grass or crossing creeks. Long hauls in the state land I go hikers.

Ive got several years on my Lacrosse Alpha snake boots.  As soon as these give out, I'll be getting another pair.  But i hunt in snake infested jungle swamps.

just my opinion, but i'd worry more about comfort than camo pattern when it comes to buying boot's. I am NOT a fan of rubber boots but if the conditions call for rubber boots my LaCrosse Alpha Burly Pro's are very comfortable. I had a pair of the original Alpha burly's and hated them they were either to big or to tight in the toe area no matter what size. The new Alpha Pro's fit much better.

Lacrosse Grange, best all around boot ever made!

I may try these. I put maybe 60 miles on a pair of boots each spring, assume these will hold up?

i've been happy with my Lacrosse Alpha burly's. I've got either 3 or 4 seasons on them (including deer and squirrel hunting). the right one has developed a very small leak right around the big toe joint, but other than that no complaints. they fit like a tennis shoe!

They will.  Finest uninsulated rubber boot there is.  Got a pair of Burlys and Grange, both were extremely comfortable right out of the box.  Burlys with insulation are great for cooler temps but if they get wet on the inside at all it does take a few days to dry completely thru the insulation, Granges can flood and with a piece of newspaper they're ready the next morning.

I've found my boot driers for ski boots work great for drying out a sweaty or Swamy boot overnight and they are pretty cheap to get.

Im a fan of the Lacrosse Grange. My last pair lasted 12 years of heavy use. I prefer them over the boots with neoprene uppers. The make me sweat and they get ripped up to quick.
