You need to consider many things when selecting your boots, such as terrain, season, and the game you\u2019re hunting. Avoid footwear failure on your hunt with these helpful tips.<\/span>

Types of Hunting Boots<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/h2>\n

Generally speaking, hunting boots are categorized into two main groups: field boots and rubber boots.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

FIELD BOOTS\u00a0<\/b>\u2014 Field boots are made with breathability and durability in mind. They are often made of full-grain leather, mesh, and nylon.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

RUBBER BOOTS<\/b> \u2014 Rubber boots are ideal for hunting because they are scent-free and will never give away your location. They are also waterproof but can get quite warm.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Think About Insulation<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/h2>\n

How warm or breathable you want your hunting boots to be entirely depends on the season in which you\u2019re hunting and how your anticipated level of activity. Will you be sitting in a tree stand or blind for hours on end, or will you be hiking and moving around constantly until it\u2019s time to pull the trigger? As you begin your search for the best hunting boots, you\u2019ll find that insulation is listed in grams, which means grams per quart meter of fabric. Here\u2019s a guide on how to make your selection:<\/span><\/p>\n

MILD TEMPERATURES<\/b> \u2014 During an early-season deer or spring turkey hunt, you\u2019ll want boots that are uninsulated up to 200 grams.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

AVERAGE FALL TEMPS<\/b> \u2014 For your typical fall hunt, you\u2019ll likely want boots with 400 – 800 grams.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

HARSH WINTER WEATHER\u00a0<\/b>\u2014 Intense winter weather will require 1000 or more grams of insulation, especially when\u00a0<\/span>still hunting<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

A Few More Things<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/h2>\n

Three more things to keep in mind as you search for the perfect hunting boot:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

TRACTION<\/b> \u2014 Think about the type of terrain you\u2019ll be hunting on and how much traction you\u2019ll need. Slippery surfaces mean you\u2019ll want better traction and grippier shoes.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

BOOT FIT<\/b> \u2014 During your hunt, you probably won\u2019t be sporting the socks you wear every day. You\u2019ll probably want to wear a thick woolen pair of socks or even use a specialized boot liner, so you may want to size up.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

STYLE\u00a0<\/b>\u2014 You\u2019ll need to determine what style of boot you want. Do you want a high-cut boot that features a versatile camouflage? Think about your hunt and what it will require. You may need to invest in more than one hunting boot.<\/span>
