spot and stalk or tree stand?

 

This is the most important question to be asked as well as where are you from? What climates are you hunting....

Spot and stalk - I am a HUGE Han Wag fan. I have the Tyst GTX boots and absolutely love them. Heard great things about Crispi's as well. If on more of a budget, some of the lowas will give good quality for a cheaper price.

Treestand sits in cold weather, to me, nothing beats an insulated rubber boot. If I am not doing spot and stalk, I only put on my artic muck boots and haven't once had cold or wet feet.

 

I’m a big Lowa fan

whoa sorry, didn’t mean to post twice

 

The best boots are the ones that are a perfect fit for your feet. There are many quality boots but until you put some miles on them you will not know if your feet are happy. I have tried several and my feet are happiest with Danner and Merrell boots. Good Merino Wool socks are just as important as boots.

 

I really like my schnees beartooths

 

If you're looking for budget priced, I have a pair of mostly leather sportsman's guide (rocky knockoffs) for a few years and they've held up really well.

 

Lacrosse Aerohead with 7mm insulation. I like warm dry feet while on stand. These are good from cool to as cold as it gets here in PA. Plus the rubber is good for scent control. If I’m going to be hiking or driving deer in gun season I wear my Limmer Standard hikers with a gaiter. Can walk all day in them in the roughest of terrain. Have a pair of Muck Wetlands that I occasionally wear on warmer days.

 

Don't go with tidewe , i ordered some mostly because i liked that they supported the beast . The boots that arrived looked like the picture except the tread depth was less then the muck boots im trying to replace . They said i cant return them because i tried them on . I gave them to my father to wear when he picks up dog **** ,that's all they're good for. I'll end up getting dryshod .

 

I just picked up a pair of lacrosse lodestar, super comfortable with minimum break in

 

I'm done with danner and lacrosse boots, I burn through them to quickly. I just bought some Crispi boots. I really hope the hype from all the western hunters is justified!

 

Love crispi. Worth the $$$

 

I'm a huge merrell guy. It's all I wear. If it's really cold I'll put on the 800g Cabelas boots I have

 

Lowa, Crispi, Kennetrek, Schnee’s, and Han Wag amongst a few others are the best hiking/ hunting boots.

All of these are very solid, I’ll throw in salewa as another solid hiker. Crispi’s are my feet’s favorite though.

 

Hikers I use the Danner Alsea they have been great for me for the past 2 seasons. Rubber boots I just got the Lacrosse Alphaburly and used them this past season when I needed to. So far they are my favorite rubber boot I've had, a lot more comfortable than all the others I've tried.
