i currently have Mucks. and as mentioned they have torn in certain areas and i believe they may be leaking from the bottom or my feet just sweat that much. I do prefer rubber boots because i don't want to have to worry about my feet getting wet, although i don't typically hunt in or around water you just never know where you might trek during a day of hunting. Also i use a climber so having large 2,000 gram boots is not an option, cinder blocks on my feet make for hard and noisy climbing...
