I'm wondering if a guy could wear waterproof hunting boots and gaiters instead of knee high rubber boots? I've never worn gaiters either, BTW. If I go the rubber boot way, I can find nothing bad about the LaCross Alphaburley 800g boot ?
It would at least be a test for how "waterproof" tbey would be. They won't be waterproof enough on a moose hunt.
For short bits of water higher than xtratuffs, you can duck tape rainpants to the boots. I've used small bunnies on the rainpants to keep water out of boots for creek crossings.
Findd out what your outfitter reco's depending on expected terrain. Then ask detailed questions here.
