Hunting boots

[DCA-DEER]

Mucks

I'm on my 3rd regluing of the soles back onto my mucks.

I've only had to rescue my lacrosse soles back on twice.

You would think as much as they charge for these rubber boots they would last more than 3 seasons, but nope, not at least any I've tried.

Im right there with you! Im hard on footwear. I walk far distances scouting hunting and hauling gear in and out and sometimes deer.

I can beat the crap out of any hunting boot in 2-3 seasons. I've heard about gumleaf and the true rubber boots that cost $250-300 and how much longer they last but man I haven't bitten that bullet yet.

I normally do not hunt in slip ons. I wear dans five star hip boots. They last 5 seasons with me before they get squishy. While other hunters are tip toeing around puddles trying not to get swamped, I roll right through most stuff. These also turn briars and have a tough nylon shell which keeps them from getting damaged like the neoprene mucks. When I wear knee boots briars always grab my thigh then hang up on the top of my knee boots and catch. It stops my momentum and causes a lot more tripping.

On that, I also fall and then crawl at some points. Going up and down ditch banks It's nice to be able to slide, drop onto your knees and know they are still waterproof.
