So I really do like my mucks for most of the archery season, dry feet, no laces, relatively warm, and super comfortable but I don’t like that Rocky now owns them and am looking at other boot options, I don’t mind Leather boots but just like the ease of the neoprene , does anyone have any experience with Gumleaf or le chameau?
Boots of choice?

Hers a pair af lacrosse that are 2 years old. They don't leak but they're so smooth it's tought to walk in them if theres any snow. The ones with the little nubbins don't usually last as long, and they pack full of mud which falls out when i'm in a treestand, so i like the ones with the bars better.

I have a pair of uninsulated Lacrosse that I've had for probably more than 10 years. I did get puncture hole in the sole awhile ago that I was able to fix with shoo goo. They're still going good. I also have a pair of Lacrosse alpha burlys that I mainly use for ice fishing .. another good choice. My only complaint about them is the lack of ankle support. On the sidehills I've been hunting more of these past few years - I just feel more comfortable with my lace up Irish Setters

Lacrosse Windrose 1000G insulation - bought these for my Idaho backcountry hunt this past fall and can't sing their praises enough. No issues in the desert, snow, or mud. Kept my feet warm and blister-free despite putting miles and miles each day on them. You know your boots are good when you never think about them once they're on your feet. My buddy wore Crispi's on that hunt that he loved but he also paid 4x what I did for my Lacrosse's.
Lacrosse Alphaburly Pro 1800G insulation for those long, cold whitetail sits. Originally bought them to cross a creek to get to one on of my spots but now I wear them pretty much every hunt from the mid-season on and they keep my feet dry and warm all hunt long.

Fan of the Cabelas rubber insulated. I normally wear a 9.5 or 10 M or EE. Problem is with 1 pair heavy wool and light liner or light wool sock the boot is too tight in width. Very uncomfortable. NOBODY I can find makes a wide rubber boot. Send a link if you know of any

I have Lacrosse, Muck and Rocky neoprene boots in different insulation weights and have good luck with all of them. For hiking, elk hunting, scouting or anytime I plan on walking a lot of miles I wear Meindl Comfort fit boots. The Meindl Comfort Fits have a wider toe box and the cork insoles seem to form to your feet, I can easily walk ten plus miles a day in rough terrain in them with no issues.
I've yet to find a pair of rubber/neoprene boots that are durable, so I've quit wasting my money on something that may only last a year. Now if I'm in situation such as deep snow where in the past I'd wear the rubber boots, I'll wear a pair of gaiters and my Crispi's.
Right on, me as well. I'm currently 3 years into the Alsea's and they are going strong. If the snow is deep, I throw a pair of waterproof leg gaiters on. I have rubber Dryshod's and Tidewe's in the event I need boots for really muddy times, but that isn't often. Walking in the Danner's is just so much nicer than any rubber boot.
Got a pair of Tidewe's that so far are the best rubber/neoprene boots I've owned. Easy on and off.
Going on 2 years old so I can't comment on the longevity yet.
Screw them.
I love Sketchers, even the laced ones I have I never untie, just slip them on and off. Guess I'm getting old.21 - 40 of 78 Posts
