The last thing I wanted to use on our DIY moose hunt was rubber boots mostly because I knew we would be doing quite a bit of hiking. All 3 of us used Cabelas hip waders and Simms Freestone Wading boots. The boots made it way more comfortable to hike around in especially if there was any terrain involved. In fact, I did miles and miles of pack training with them on and didn't have a single issue with blisters or hot spots. On days when we knew we didn't need the waders we would still use the Simms boots but would add a waterproof neoprene sock to take up the room the booty would when wearing the waders.

Worked like a champ.
