I still like my Rocky's!
When I Bowhunted a lot, I would carry some Ankle high Indian Moccasins,(Sneakin Slippers), in my pack, to try to sneak up on game!
Shot a lot of Whit tails in Ohio, doing it this way.
Even got close to an Elk in Colorado 30 yrs. ago, but he got wise and bolted!
I had a few Layers of leather Tanned deer hide,
soles in each to help re enforce the inside Bottoms.
That worked very well, as I could still feel the ground, and stalk slowly, and as quietly as possible!
Got a pair in Canada yrs. ago from the Algonquin Indian store, near lake Niposing.
Now my oldest Son is trying to replicate that, as he's a pretty accomplished Bowhunter himself!
