I read a book by G. Fred Asbell on bowhunting called "Stalking/Still Hunting: Ground Hunter's Bible." In the book he talked about using moccassins and he recommended the LL Bean Maine Hunting Shoe instead. He said he tried everything, including moccassins, and the Main Hunting Shoe was as quiet, if not more quiet, than moccassins.

After reading the book I bought a pair and couldn't be more happy. I actually bought a second pair that was insulated for really cold days.
