No traction, no arch support, no ankle support, get a pair of waders and good water proof boots... And these zombies line up and eat from the media’s trough Cowards CANNOT be free. Nor should they be. ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

Although I didn’t need them the $100 or so for the boots was good insurance. Another moose hunting trip is in October this year and I will bring my boots and a pair of Kenetrek Mountain boots with gaiters just for the arch, ankle and overall foot support. In 2018 I had Planters Fasciitis and during the trip and after the first day I was in agony. This trip is not a flyin so I will bring the second pair of high rubber boots. All of us going are vaccinated so hopefully the government will let us in without quarantining. My 62 YO B in law as on a list at a Walgreen’s and he got one last night because people didn’t show up for their appointment.

I hunt well above tree line in the mountains for moose and caribou so no need for waterproof boots. But if you are going to hunt in a place that requires waterproof boots be sure to get a pair that's "ankle fit" if possible. Reduces the amount of sloppiness and slipping around inside of the boots.

River Trekkers are good for crossing streams too . Waders: Simms, Cabela’s, & Orvis. -Quality leather boots and gaiters or -Slip on rubber knee High Boots I’m trying to find a good pair of “quality leather” and figured the runner lower/ leather upper might fit this

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.
