[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5295167, member: 2805"] used to wear rubber boots all day, now I've switched to some cheap Merrell chameleon 7 mid hikers (they are shorter than most 'mid' hikers) after the morning hunt a couple years ago when Midway put the old model on closeout for $70. They are insanely light, insanely comfortable, and seem to be holding up better than I would have expected. I've got around 300 miles on them the past 2 years, and no issues. The only problem... they stink to high heaven. I wear wool socks, get them soaked on occasion, and at times don't have access to a shoe dryer. So they smell horrible. Washed the insoles, filled them with baking soda has helped. I would want more ankle support if I were hunting in the Appalachians or the Rockies, but where I do the vast majority of my hunting, they are just perfect. Best move I've ever made... never been actually happy about putting a pair of boots on. And besides, I only got 3 seasons or so before the soles would detach off my rubber boots. Glue them back on, get another season, reglue, get another season. Happens to me with muck and lacrosse. All models I've used. That's getting old. [/QUOTE]
