Kid, I know you said "No Rubber Boots" but the current issue, Nov./Dec. 2013, of Shooting Sportsman magazine has an article titled "The Great Rubber Boot Test."
It is a large article and seems very comprehensive. They test 9 different rubber boots. Some of the issues they test for include: On/Off, Fit, Arch Support, Comfort, Tread, Height, Weight, Intended Use, & Price.
I never realized how specialized/sophisticated rubber boots have become.
BTW, the winner or Editors Choice, was Bogs World Slam boots.
