I wear both types in the spring, depending on the terrain I'm hunting.
Up in 2G in the mountains, or the mountains around home I prefer a fairly tall lace-up boot for ankle support. For quite a few Springs now it has been Danner Pronghorns and Radicals.
When I'm hunting field birds or anywhere in the vicinity of water, I like knee-high rubber boots. I've had good success with LaCrosse and Muck.
Some of my boots needed retiring after last year so I did pick up a pair of Irish Setter Havocs and Under Armour H.A.Ws for this year.
