So the area that I hunt is freaking wet this year....I need a set of WATERPROOF 15-16" boots, and being this is Canadian Sheild and Boreal, and the average walk is 5K, regular old rubbers arent going to cut it.

Anybody tried these?

Haven't tried them, but they look alright, light as well. Too bad there's no way to try a pair on before ordering. I always have a hard time finding footwear that fits right.

I bought a pair of 16" boots in the US in Feb. Not exactly what I wanted, but they fit well, are light, and were only $49. :)

I love my Lacrosse Burly's...It took me 4 years to wear-out my old ones. They seem almost impossible to find in Canada though. I had to get them from Cabela's US.
 
Check out www.kenetrek.com. These are the best cold wet weather boots I have ever used.

I have the 13" Northern pac boots and they are very waterproof and surprisingly nice to walk in.

Unlike many other brands you get a really nice boot that is still made in the US and Canada.

I got mine here.

Have a pair of Lacrosse Burly's ... decent, comfortable boot, but hard to pull on and even harder to pull off with their tight ankle fit.

Off all the high - "rubber" boots, Le Chameau's are my favourite, leather lined, side zipped and extremely comfortable.

Best bang for the buck in rubber is the Finnish-made "Nokian - Finjagd " model boots - available from Brushey's in Powassan. Euro-sized, and capable of being studded like snow tires ! Had two pairs ... both lasted 5 to 6 years of almost daily wear, October through March each year. Phone first, then take the drive up to try on a pair.
 
I like my Irish Setters.They are mostly waterproof. They aren't overly warm on very cold days though. One of my buddies bought a pr of Woody elite boots last season and swears by them. I think they are made by Muck Boots.
If yer in a pinch there is always the sock eaters available. The cheap rubber boots with liners from canadian tire. I challenge anyone here to walk 50ft in them and not have your socks all balled up at the end of your toes.
Damn I hated those boots.
 
check out the LL Bean boots. They are nice. I have the Danner canadians, great boot, super scetchy soles though, downright dangerous in wet, snow rocky terain.

Thats damn funny man. :D
 
i bought Lacross hunting boots, 8" high, 500g thinsulate, at Crappy tire in late winter, used them ice fishing. Each year they go on sale for about 50% if you can wait.

Everyone in my hunting party wears those green farmers rubber boots but me.

Lots of good prices at Walmart in the states. May get a taller pair this fall (Irish setter look, not sure on the make)
 
Meindls (Meindel??) are the best in my view - Cabellas has them make some of their boots, and good boots are available from Meindl as well. I have a pair of Cabellas Meindl Mountain Hunters (I think they were called) , 10.5 inch high and going into their 12th season of hard hunting. Clean them and coat them and they keep on going! They are not offered any more (the exact boot) but there are others in the line that I think are very good - including the Canadian.

Again- about $400-500, but those things have kept me going when others have given up because of wet feet or cold or discomfort or....
