Favorite Boot

[bowhunterfanatic]

Lacrosse Grange for me. I've walked the soles off of two different pairs the last few years. When the ones I have now give up the ghost I'll buy another pair. They do get warm from time to time but I don't mind.

I don't have any water where I turkey hunt now. Bought a used pair of Danner Tachyon off of a buddy, and don't think i'll hunt with any others in the future. Love those things. Had a pair of Le Chameau that I used to hunt Osceola's in the glades with, and they're good for rubber boots, But unless I'm wading I'll go with the Danners.

Better man than I am, I hate snakes.

No sir. I've seen your military service history. I don't like venomous snakes at all, but I almost never see one while turkey hunting. I've almost stepped on a couple copperheads, but we are talking about 20+ years of turkey hunting, and I hunt a LOT. I've never had a snake strike at me or get aggressive while turkey hunting. Now, summertime? That's a different story. That's when I worry about them.

Im a fan of the Grange boots as well but but attached some frogg toggs uppers to them. I dont like wet feet.

I used to wear rubber boots and then some nicer waterproof hunting boots until they wore out many years ago. Now I wear whatever work-boots are sitting by the door, usually just some leather hiker type. I don't worry about wet feet anymore, just walk across the creeks, get wet and keep going.

Danner Pronghorn uninsulated. I do wear some Danner snake boots if I go down South.

 

[sloughfoot]

Switched over to Merrel gortex hiking boots and gaiters about 3 years ago and won't ever go back to rubber or heavy hunting boots. Granted snakes are not an issue where I generally hunt.

What kind of gaiters you wearing?

What kind of gaiters you wearing?

currently the first lite bramblers if im walking in taller grass or semi wet areas and its cool out. The Traverse ones if its hot and dry out just to keep bugs and debris out of my boots.

Mucks

 

[TnKen]

Danner Ft Hood, I also have several pairs of the Ft Lewis boots but they aren't waterproof anymore.

 

[Setterman]

Crispi Colorado. I hunt rugged steep stuff and pair them with snake gaiters.

Just wondering what everyone wears. Depending on temps I either wear my muck field blazer if it's cooler or my lacrosse uninsulated bottom land boots. Along with my snake gaiters. Both are rubber. Just wondering for you guys that wear the leather boots like them especially with all the rain and crossing streams etc. I hate wet feet with a passion no matter the temps.

I would think as a special forces guy, you would have tested out a bunch of boots.
We should ask you for recommendations.

I have but I also pretty much have operated in the desert since 9-11. So not a lot of water crossing lol. I will give you my opinion though. I have a pair of Lowas that made it through some pretty rough stuff in Syria after 3 deployments. They are a hiking style boot. I highly recommend them. Little dirty and scuffed but stitching is great and so are the soles. Second favorite pair of boots are my OD Green jungle boots. Actually Iay give those Jungle boots a try this year during turkey season. Put a ton of kiwi on the leather and then use some silicone on the canvas

Used Muck Fieldblazers for a while but they started rubbing my ankle if I walked a lot so switched to Danner Pronghorns and love them. Bought some snake gaiters from Academy and put them on and call it good.

I've been wearing the lacrosse snake country slip on boot for last couple of seasons and love them. Very comfortable and feet haven't been wet yet.

 

[wildlifefarmer]

Danner snake boots. They are mostly leather that fits like a glove. Good ankle support and they break in easily. I wear them anytime time I'm in the woods or high grass from spring through fall or until the snakes are in.

 

[Willysman]

Wear an old pair of Columbia hiking boots. Very comfortable. Have some Turtle skin snake gaiters I wear sometimes if I'm hunting in the mountains. Don't worry much about snakes.

 

[kornbread]

Danner Pronghorn is my boot of choice

 

[kasey]

I saved up and bought the Russell moccasin snake boots
