Hunting Boots

Comfortable waterproof boots are one of the main elements in a hunter's wardrobe in any season. Each model is designed for use in harsh conditions. Hunting boots should be lightweight, waterproof, and warm. We must agree that there is no universal hunting footwear, which will be suitable in any conditions.

Winter hunting boots should have excellent thermal insulation, water resistance, and a grooved sole. For autumn and spring seasons hunters usually buy rubber boots. Summer footwear should be comfortable, durable, and lightweight, with a sufficiently flexible sole. What’s more, they should protect feet from moisture, but at the same time be breathable.

How to choose hunting boots?

If you want to buy comfortable footwear, you need to pay attention to the following aspects:

• The sole of the footwear. Winter boots must be equipped with a special grooved sole. This will prevent slipping on the ice. Boots for warm seasons should have a flexible sole.
• Thermal insulation is essential for hunting boots. The feet should not freeze even if you have to be motionless for several hours. On the contrary thermal insulation will also help to avoid overheating in the summer. 
• Weight of boots. Winter boots weigh more than summer boots. Lightweight footwear is also suitable for long hunting expeditions. 

Modern men’s and women’s hunting boots are made of high-quality natural or artificial materials. They are often combined to achieve better functionality and reliability.

• Gortex. This material protects against moisture, but at the same time does not create a greenhouse effect. Such boots are very lightweight since one layer of quality material is enough. 
• Neoprene. It is a lightweight, flexible, and elastic material that keeps heat well and does not let moisture inside.
• Rubber. Such boots are not suitable for cold seasons. However, it does not allow moisture to pass through, keeping your feet dry.

It is difficult to give preference to any particular material, each one is good in specific conditions. You should carefully study the characteristics of hunting footwear and make a choice according to your needs.
