Wet weather or if I am going to hunt a marshy area I wear the Muck boots. They are rubber boots. They have a very stiff arch. And a breathable liner. They are almost as comfortable as my dry weather boots.
In dry weather I wear the tennis shoe boots. They are made like a leather tennis shoe, only with a boot top. They have a deep tread pattern on the sole also. They have a zipper on the side. When I get them tied to where they are most comfortable then I just use the zipper to take them on and off. They are very light and comfortable. I wear a half size larger in these boots than I do in other boots.
My walks are usually less than two hours. I keep both pairs in the truck and change boots as the weather conditions or terrain changes.
