Thread: Whats your hunting footwear????

Red Setters - just start them with generous amount of the sno-????? leather treatment and they're like gloves very quickly and nicely flexible. Good grip on wet or dry. for weight I was happy with my Kathmandu hikers, but they quickly rotted out on the suede 'fold', and the (vibram) soles were very slippery.

I always replace any boot's innersole with a quality gel-type innersole - have never had blisters underneath - usually toenails too long can be the problem area.

Interestingly my 1st pair of red setters separated from their sole after 2 trips - sent them back to manufacturer, who replaced no questions asked. replacement pair have done me 12 months+ and am confident they'll be good for a year or 2 more.

Good socks with gel innersole is the trick in my book.

I totally confess to having soft feet - even a gravel driveway in bare feet is an ordeal for me.
