Boots for Coonhunting ??

Whats a good tall waterproof boot for coonhunting that'll stand up to lots of brush, cornfields and tons of walking ..

Usually wear cowboy boots but getting tired of my feet getting wet all the time

Thanks

Good luck. I get 1 new pair a year. That is if the chaps last that long. I like lacrosse the best.

Honestly probably the best for durability I have found were the Dunlop but **** they ain't comfortable. Gonna try putting the cushioned insoles in mine cause they do seem they can take the abuse.

If your not wanting waders. Try a set of danner pronghorns. In the snake boot. They are tough.

I use the lacrosse mud lite with yoder super chaps. I wear out one pair a year or less no matter what brand but was buying a new pair every 4 months when I was using Muck. And have never whore out at set of chaps and there is some rough stuff to hunt around here.

I bought a of pair of these but they were not "snake boots".
Good looking boot, very comfy. Problem is, I wore them very little and the left boot has already started leaking. I think the right side let some water in the other night.

i like mucks the most important thing is to put insoles in them
where they will fit.chaps may be a little hot unless you wear
shorts.

My first pair leaked on right foot. Sent em back. These new ones have been great. They pretty high though.

I think I saw somewhere that most of those "water proof" leather boots that their waterproof lining is only rated for something like 10,000 steps. I've tried just about everything out there and if I can get a few months out of them thats good for me. But I wear the same boots all day for work around the farm, running bird dogs in day light and coon hounds after dark so Im putting miles on them every single day! I think the muck boots are the most comfortable rubber boot but my feet just destroy them on the inside of the heels and any rubber boot just makes my feet too hot and sweat so much I may as well just be getting them wet in a creek! I have settled on the Rocky waterproof Branson roper. good sole and out lasts anything else I've tried even the danners plus I like a slip on type boot.

ROCKY MUDSOX!theyre made of neoprene and rubber.never leaked very light and comfortable.i hunt every night and liked them enough to buy an extra pair for when these wear out.ive worn this pair for about 7 months so far.

You may also look into the Irish Setter boots made by Redwing. Very comfortable and seem to be durable as well. They are a little pricy though IMO.
