shoes are a very personal thing. what works for one may be the worst prescription for the next.
i guess i am and only one who wears them, but i wear lechameau's. i wear rubber boots a lot and like them.
hard to beet good ol' lacrosse burleys.
for hiking type of hunting, up to the worst of it, is my meindel's. they hold up to way more rocks than i could ever ask from a pair of boots. took forever to wear out my first pair and the seconds still are like new.
of course, if it gets really brutal, especially on sharp, sliding rocks, i go to my scarpa inverno's. the widest plastic boot i have ever tried on and if i unlace the upper ankle i can walk on concrete with a heavy pack in them. for side hilling on sharp rocks, holding inch-wide ledges, in loose shale, i just love them. never been chuckar hunting, but i always thought they would be the boots i wore if i di go after them,
