I have been wearing that Irish Setter Pull on Havoc model shown in photos above,exclusively for three seasons on the Plains of West Central Texas for nearly any type of outdoor activity ; work or shooting , and it will take something pretty Special to get me to change........

I gravitate to Pull ons for convenience, and these really out shine (for me personally, your results may vary) any pull on outdoor boot including several of the various zippered Russell offerings I have bought over the years....

I always would prefer Meindl Boots:

I am very interested in "No Tie" boots pictured on an earlier post. I can't tie my left boot by myself because of a stiff replacement hip. I would also like a recommendation for a no tie 6" or 7" boot.

Muck Boots!...Geo

Eightbore- You could get the Russel Cavalier or Zephyr side zips. They are great if you like wet feet. The strap allows for more fitting than with a regular Wellington style boot. The soles are stiff like tap shoes, and for only a little more money, you can fit a pair of molded insoles into them from K-mart.

Alternatively, a lovely pair of natural rubber, Hunter Balmoral Sovereign's are available in multiple calf sizes, and have replaceable soles. Strong dollar has UK distributors dumping them here in the states. I paid $275.00 for my last pair.

I worked at Cabela's until I retired: I went into the Sidney store several years ago, and told a young guy (who happened to be a Cabela) my tale of woe on hunting boots while he listened patiently.
He grinned & went into the back and came out with a pair of Meindls.
I put them on, and 10 or 12 years later, am still wearing them. They looked more like a hiking boot with high tops, but they are tough. They DO squeak when I walk, but hey....I will take the squeak! I do not hunt in the mountains, but have hunted in Arizona in the cactus.

I was shooting doves a couple of years ago and finally knocked down a bird and ran out to retrieve it.When I got back near my stand I saw a boot sole laying on ground and looked at my Irish Setter boot and it had come completely off! Bobby

Now, that's a hot shoot!!

Maybe I'm the only one that hunts in a pair of Simms boots, over a pair of Dan Bailey hip waders. I have boots from most of the makers mentioned but now if I want to wear them it is going to be sometime other than when I'm hunting.
