Farm vet, Yes, when I first went to AK, I thought the MAine Hunting boot was all I'd ever need,....
No traction, no arch support, no ankle support, get a pair of waders and good water proof boots...
Yup, and a pair of the NEOS River Trekkers for crossing streams that would o/wise be over the tops of your boots.
"Good waterproof boots" means Kenetrek or equivalent.
A pair of "lower - rubber / upper - leather" boots are nice to have in camp for running outside for a minute, but trying to hunt in rough country in a pair is a very bad idea, for several reasons.
