I did my research before purchasing my pair of waterproof kneehigh's. I narrowed down these vs Lacrosse AlphaLites and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I did test the waterproof after I got home and they stayed dry after being submerged for 5 minutes. I wore them around the house and backyard for an hour and my feet were toasty, but not sweating. I have yet to hunt with them, but am fully confident I will be just as satisfied. I wear 10.5 shoes and I bought these in 11. Perfect fit with insulated wool sock over standard cotton sock. Gander has these on sale for twenty dollars off. The only thing I would comment on is the stitching at the top of the boot should be heavier duty - I pulled up on the back loop and I could feel the stitching loosen slightly.

I loved these boots when I bought them approx. 15 months ago. Unfortunately, they already have cracks in them, not cuts or gashes from use, but cracks. The cracks are on the top of the foot, exactly where the ribs are. Up until this, I was thoroughly impressed with the comfort, support, and grip of the boots. They are a lot of $ to only last around 28 hunting days before cracking and leaking.

    I bought these boots 3 years ago when they first came out and I love them. They are warm and dry even when they are wet inside (stepped in a hole while crossing a creek). I still use them today and would reccomend them to anyone looking for a pair of rubber boots.

    Loved these boots a year and a half ago, but within a year, these boots were leaking at the side seams. One zipper doesn't work so great either. Should've gotten a better boot for my money. The pair before these were Lacross, and lasted 10 years.

    Great Boots!

    By Brad

    About Me Advanced

    Pros

    • Comfortable
    • Warm
    • Waterproof

    Cons

    • Hard to feet heal in

    Best Uses

    • Extreme Conditions
    • Hunting

    I got these boots for Christmas in 2010, and got to try them out in Pennsylvania's muzzle loader season shortly after. I knew about the amount of insulation in the boots, but I am the type of person to over prepare. So I wore a pair of regular socks, and 2 pairs of wool socks. My feet were so hot! Now I just wear one pair of wool socks and I'm fine, even on 20 degree days. They are also a very durable boot. We do a lot of pushing around here, and I'm usually one of the people pushing. I've been through the thickest brush to push deer out, and still no tare's in the boots. I've walked through creeks, and no water got through and my feet still stayed warm afterwards. I even use these in the early season of archery, and my feet don't get uncomfortably hot. My feet don't hurt after long stalks or hikes, and my feet stay warm on those all day sits in the stand. I love these boots. Only down fall of them is that it is hard to get your heels into them. But I will take that one downfall for all of the other pros.

      Cons

        Best Uses

          Poor quality. After minimal use and 1 season the tops of the boots (where the boot flexes as you walk) started cracking and letting water in. Would never buy this brand again. I expected better for the name.

            I like the way they fit. A little harder to get off and on since the zipper doesnt go down farther. Im a big guy and the tops just arent quite big enough either. Overall...a nice boot

              Cons

                Best Uses

                  Other rubber boots finally wore out so I bought these. I deer hunt from a stand, so I don't do a lot of walking, but in 16 degree weather, with the wind blowing. My feet stayed warm. Had on one pair of medium weight socks. Only draw back is that the side zipper does not go down to ankle to help get boots off. Other than the boots coming off and bit tough, these boots are great.

                    do the rubber boots run like a shoe size, or do you go up a size or down? If you wear a 10 1/2 is that the size you would order. Thanks

                      They are almost true to size. I would suggest buying the size that would accomodate whatever sock you would be wearing the most.

                      A:

                      The Wool Plus insulation is a thicker insulation designed to keep the heat in the boot. The Breathe Right insulation is located in the foot bed, and wicks away sweat while keeping the foot warm.
