Boots for Archery Season

As of last night, my La Crosse Alpha Burlys (neoprene version) have made their last hike. They have developed some bad cracks and have begun to leak. After wearing them for a few years it seemed that my feet got cold faster in the neoprene boots as compared to the original rubber burlys. I’m looking for input on types of boots people prefer for archery season.

I wear Lacrosse alphas and really like them. I have an uninsulated pair and a 1000 gram pair.I do need something inbetween before next year.My only complaint is by the time I get to my stand my socks are at my toes.

I have heard good things about the scent blocker boots

I get cold and with the last 2 season temps fotr those long sits I wear 2000 grams knee highs, 4 00s for the hot summer hunts. Being that the rubbers dont breath as well as others I suggest investing in some moisture wicking socks as well

thanks for the input, guys… I plan on heading to Cabela’s in the morning to make a purchase. I’m kind of leaning towards a pair of 1200gram rubber knee boots but I’m going to look at other options as well.

i like my Muck Wetlands only downside I have found with the neoprene boots is tears/ rips (2 in mine 1 from barbwire, 1 from a stick/branch) comfy and warm though

Bought the Muck Wetlands, but returned them. Just didn’t seem to fit me very well. My feet slipped walking down hills, and I’m not sold on the neoprene. I like the 800g rubber alpha burleys I have. Haven’t tried the non-insulated ones, but would like to.

Well, after looking hard at the rubber boots they just didn’t seem to fit that great. I took a chance and bought the Muck Woody Max. At this point, after trying them for a couple of weeks in temps down to the low 30’s I can say that they are keepers. My feet get cold pretty easily and I’ve been able to stay in the stand 4-5 hrs without any issues. They are very light and comfortable, easy to climb in, and have great traction. They should get me through the rut and possibly some late season hunting no problem.
