Good insulated waterproof boots under 120$?


Recommended Posts

I have a pair of Cabela's boots I bought 6 years ago .  I still am wearing them  all hunting season and over 1/2 the year for work. A typical 150-200$ boot lasts me 1-2 years tops.... They probably are the longest lasting pair of all leather boots I have  worn.

Curious as why no rubber boots ? Where I hunt I have to cross a small trout stream so rubber a must. Lacrosse uninsulated in warm weather and warmer Muck boots for colder temps. I've never worn anything else. What am I missing out on ? Rubber tend to be more scent free , easy on , easy off , tuck my pants in them and I'm off. Just curious

I've had heal rubbing issues with Rubber boots in the past, but that could be just cause of the boot maker... also made my feet sweat a lot when stalk hunting and they were heavy walking around in, i mostly hunt hilly terrain with not much creeks or swaps but occasionally wet grass, just looking for something light, flexible and waterproof.

I have Irish Setters as well and love them, only issue is the heavy lugs on the bottom get caked with snow and need to be cleaned off every now and again.........they're leather and goretex, I spray em with silicone about twice a season and they are about as waterproof as you can get.

Watch that silicone spraying.  It retains the "stink" for awhile. You'll be laying down your footprints with silicone essence and that smell is about as artificial as it gets to a deers nose. Just my .02 . If goretex no need to spray anyhow

I have a hard time find shoes that fit right...I have the woman's Irishsetters 800gr. and I love them...with one exception...Now this isn't just those boots because I have the same issue with other brands as well...The soles echo like a sound chamber. That is when walking even in grass...if I hit a stone I makes the loudest crackling sound ever...Drives me crazy trying to quietly get to my stand. I like the tread because of the steep terrain so rubber slip on boots are a no go...not enough traction ,especially when the ground is wet. Why can't they make hunting boots with quiet soles at a reasonable price?
