Hunting Boots (Warm)

[Bootsha 1,306]

mate, i have done and still do, walk in these all day, following hounds or out for a nights lamping. Dont be put off by the clumpy looking design of them, they have toecaps, but are suprisingly light and comfortable for what they are, and the tread pattern and density will outlast and out grip any other wellie i have ever used.

 

Just mt experience of this wellie, not everyones cup of tea perhaps, but they suit me fine.

 

Hope it helps

Hi guys,

 

I'm looking for a change in boots for the winter, i normally roam about my permission in wellies but last winter I suffered a lot with the cold weather injuries from my feet due to my time In the forces, and they get very cold quickly... And numb. I'm looking at some hunting boots that are really nicely insulated, if possible the height of wellies due to the crops and long grass on my permission, I have had a look around but nothing really bites my bullet so to speak. Wondering if anyone has any suggestion...

 

Be interesting what people suggest

 

Cheers,

 

Craig

 

How shitty is the ground? I'm a huge fan if Sorel, from Canada. Particularly the Sorel Caribou Boot

 

They're very warm on the feet. I've used them extensively, in northern England, and in a few colder parts of the US. By colder parts I mean ice fishing in -20's ºF They handle shitty mud very as they're waterproof, with a full tongue, made from Caribou hide. The sole is molded rubber, which wraps the foot. They also have removable wool liners, which I go through every 4-5 years. The current pair I own I've had for 15 years.

 

They retail at $140, Canadian, although you can get them on sale depending on how much searching you're willing to do. $140, Canadian, is about £85 on the current exchange rate. Plus $35US for replacing the wool liners. That's £20 every 4-5 years.

 

In all honesty I'm not one for reviewing gear that I haven't thoroughly tested. I'm tighter than a camel's arse, in a sand storm, when it comes to buying stuff, but these boots have stopped me losing toes. Something that could have happened when we got stranded in a blizzard, for two days, in the Utah mountains. 11,000ft above sea level, in temperatures that froze the engine block, in the 2005 Dodge truck we were using to get in and out of the place. Staying in a camp site like this...

 

 

 

Iv worn safety wellies before and they have been very heavy with the toe cap and nail proof foot bed. Not the best things for walking the fields but ideal in the farm yards

 

Safety wellies are a god send when there is farm crap lying around. They last a thousand times longer, than Hunters, and cost a ¼ of the price. Clunky but effective.

i brought some of there fishing fur lined waterproof boots they lasted about 6 weeks before the sole came away from the upper sorry to say with footwear you generally get what you pay for

Muck Boots or Hunter Balmorals mate but the Hunters aren't cheap !

I've had a pair of tay sport muck boots for 3 winters now. they have been excellent. they are warm and very comfortable. as comfy as trainers. I've worn them at work too. they are the best all round boot I've found by far.
