I hunt both East and West - mule deer, whitetail, elk, pig and am having a hell of a time finding a good lightweight boot that's truly waterproof. Years ago I would buy Wolverines and then more recently switched to Merrell boots. The first couple pairs I bought ten years ago were waterproof but since then - they've leaked almost day 1. They say waterproof on the side but that's it. Disappointing because they had the features I like in a boot; lightweight (helps with my bad knee) - dry, some insulation and a good sole and tread. I travel typically 8-10 miles a day when after muleys and need a boot that will stay dry inside provided I don't submarine it...
This year - I was in Wyoming for five days and spent 3 of them soaked. Argh!
I know there are a lot of high end boots but the ones I've tried on were heavy in comparison and quite expensive. Just wondering what you guys wear and would recommend?
