Mossberg500Guy Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I am looking for a pair of good boots under 120$ bucks, that are waterproof and at least 800g insulated (not looking for rubber boots)... I've searched around and either deciding on Irish Setter's Gunflint II or Guide Gear on SG, any suggestions are appreciated thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy K Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I love my Irish setters . The only problem with a heavily insulated hiking/hunting boot is they make slow walk/stalking impossible ,the bottoms are so big and cover so much area that they are incredibly loud .

grampy Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I've been using Rocky boots for years with good results. Comfortable, warm and waterproof. Many styles to choose from too. And within your price range. They have served me well and I have no complaints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncountry Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 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. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Cabelas-Gram-All-Leather-Iron-Ridge-Hunting-Boots/748572.uts?productVariantId=1728355&WT.tsrc=PPC&WT.mc_id=GoogleProductAds&WT.z_mc_id1=80073342&rid=20&gclid=Cj0KEQjwouW9BRCN0ozIifTI6_cBEiQAD9gNse-g0vt7NcpD9g-k_uXgsHoMcvZEWrp5WmoCRuGGlE8aAvQC8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkeyfeathers Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb4900 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckmaster7600 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Rocky and danner are the only 2 boots I wear that aren't rubber. But I wear lacrosse rubber boots hunting and always will.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

growalot Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
