Thanks for all the recommendations. It sounds like I should try some of the ones you all have recommended and see how it works in my conditions.

I won't be within 50 miles of water when using boots on her. This area is in the Mojave Desert, a hellish place where the chukar hang out on the steep sides of mountains and hills covered in broken lava rock.

I ordered up some of the Aussie leather boots and some Lewis rubber boots to try out. I'll probably try making some rubber and some leather ones also. I've seen a hunter make some from innertube and duct tape for his Lewellen on the side of the mountain. Seems that innertube will last half a day or so.
