Insulated Rubber Camo Hunting Boots


Lund1700Angler

Recommended Posts

I am in dire need of some new rubber hunting no scent boots. I currently have some field and stream 1000 thinsulate boots that I have had for approximently 1 yr and are all cracked up. My problem with the lacross boots I tried last year is that they weren't big enough in the calf area. What boots do you guys with larger calf areas suggest or have positive experience with?

Lund. I bought a pr. of the la cross 2 buckler insulated rubber boots. I have large legs, plus a high instep, and could never find anything that would fit. I did have to modify/extend the buckles to wrap around my fat legs, but other than that very satisfied with them. They only have 600 or 800 grams of insulation thou.( but i have enough room to wear a little heavier socks, plus put a toaty toe in them) Atleast now i can walk to my stand, crossing a stream, and not have to change boots.

same here on the woody max......bought mine late this past winter used them on the ice and loved them but it never got extremely cold so they haven't passed that test for me yet but I have worn them recently in the rain and snow I they are sweet....as with any waterproof or rubber boot buy a boot warmer to eliminate sweat smell!

Try the new Boa boot from Scentblocker. It slips on real easy cause it's wide open when the dial is loose, but then you dial in the internal lacing system and it tightens around your ankle/calf. It's pretty cool, easy on/off unlike ankle fit rubber boots that take 3 men and a boy to get off. And they're insulated with wool. I like mucks too but they don't breathe at all and feet get so damp, plus too easy to poke a stick through the neoprene.

Colimbia sells rubber boots to. I don't think they make them but they sell them at FF there 1000 grams boots fit me pretty well with more room in the calf area.

I went with LaCross boots thou. they fit my foot area better.

I had trouble finding a pair of insulated rubber boots that fit my feet. The only pair I've had that fit well enough to do some walking in were the Gander brand. I wear them ice fishing and late season hunting and haven't had a problem with cold feet.

i got some from scheels, store brand i believe, 1200 gram thinsulate in mossy oak treestand. they were 50% off, but haven't tried them yet, seem like they'll hold up pretty well though. hopefully they weren't 50% off for a reason! grin

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
