Hi all,
I'm looking for the perfect waterproof birding boot. I have neoprene rubber wellies that grip the ankle well, and are reasonably comfy in Summer, but I suspect they would be too hot for the tropics, and anyway after tramping around in them for a day my feet are hot and uncomfortable. I have felt-lined rubber wellies for the winter, which are great, but too hot for summer or the tropics. Neither are as comfy as sneakers or ordinary walking shoes, but those aren't waterproof or high enough up the leg even if they were. The perfect birding boot should be light and comfy enough to wear all day and have comfortable feet at the end, be cool enough to wear without hot feet in the summer, and be warm enough to wear on winter days in snow, unless really cold - and of course be waterproof up to at least mid-calf. They should slip on and off easily and be reasonably comfy to drive in. Muck Boots look as if they would fit the bill from their web site. Does anyone else have experience or views?
Thanks,
Richard
