Stalking shoes?

DayOne Camo creepers. They are like an overboot with a whole lot of felt padding for the sole. Just slip them on over your boots and continue hunting. If I were to take my boots off after the first day of elk hunting, if there were elk around.......there wouldn't be anymore.

Thirdhand thats what I am looking at. I wonder if there is a huge difference between those and a 10$ pair of regular water shoes?

They actually support the foot pretty well. The guy at the hunting shoe that was wearing them said they were comfortable enough to work in standing on concrete for 3 days. He said that some runners use them.

Here are the ones I used. I hunted in them most of a season and then gave them to a buddy who needed something and he is still using them. At one point I got a leak at the heel. I contacted Oceanic and they offered to replace them even though I was using them for hunting. I said I did not want to be without them and told the rep I wanted to just try and fix them. He made a suggestion and then told me that even after hunting season and if my repair did not work they would replace them. I never did send them in because the super simple repair worked like a champ. My buddy is still wearing them. he sole is not as soft as a moccasin but definitely softer than my hard soled boots and 100% water proof. I am thinking real hard about getting another pair for early season. they are comfortable to walk in and my feet stay dry. I am fairly certain they are also scent proof.

This was just a link I found. I actually got mine for about $30 off E-Bay.

On the toe shoes, I have had two pairs of them. They are indeed very comfortable and very nice on flat ground or trails. This may sound crazy but there is no support for your smaller toes. Since each toe has it's own sole it is very easy to break a smaller toe. The other issue is smell. Wear them for two days, take them off in the house and watch your paint peel. If they had socks for them so there was something other than the shoe to soak up perspiration they might work in some areas but without socks they stink really bad very quickly.

Those make my option pretty *******. I took a pair of tennis shoes and glued on some of the fake fur fabric from walmart. Works pretty decent but not durable. Would carry them in pack and swap shoes when needed.

Sounds like the wading shoes I would make for flyfishing. I used indoor-outdoor carpet on the bottoms so wouldn't slip on the rocks.

I'm not sure if you've checked out barefoot shoes? REI and other places carry them, I was curious about giving these a try for stream crossings and stalking.

I started still-hunting a few years ago. Went through a bunch of stuff. One day i ended up just wearing a pair of skate shoes (Supra to be be exact) and now i wear them 90% of the time i’m hunting. Super quiet, i can feel everything and they’re incredibly comfortable.
