Who, in your opinion, makes the best 2000 gram hunting boot. I am looking to buy a pair soon and would like your opinion.

I JUST LOOKED AT MINE THERE ONLY 800 GRAMS .... I BOUGHT THEM AT CABELA'S LAST FALL .....THERE OK FOR IMPORTS ...:rant: :nono:

 

I have the Browning boots. Got them from Cabelas in their closeout section. $89, I believe.

I like'em. Once I got them broken in, I haven't had any regrets.

Although I like a good deal as much as the rest of you, money is not a concern here. I just want to buy the best pair of boots I can get (within reason ofcourse).

Ed,
I have a pair of Lacrosse boots I that I've had for 5-6 years and they were fine. They did each develop holes in the front of them in a wrinkle.
I'm also looking at purchasing TWO new pair. I want to get a pair of 2500 thinsulate or higher as well as a pair of un-insulated for early season hunting. I have 800's now and they keep my feet really warm in the coldest conditions, but my feet obviously sweat a ton in the early season. I will more than likely purchase the cabelas brand or browning. To me rubber boots are rubber boots and I don't see the more expensive one's being much better than the cheaper ones.

I wasn't aware that they made rubber boots any higher than 2000 gram. I haven't seen any listed anywhere. Who makes a boot with 2500 gram and higher?

Ed

 

Ed,
I think I made an error. I'm not aware of any 2500 gram boots either. :bonk:

How does that song go? "Wouldn't it be nice if...."

I just guess I need to find me a super-moderator job to fund my hunting.

I bought some 2000 gram cabelas brand boots and they kept my feet warm! They are extremely heavy though compared to 800 gram boots but I'm not sure if thats common or not, I'm guessing it is.

 

If you wear the right socks the 800's will do fine

 

Carpn makes a good point. I wear Cabelas socks over top of polypropolene linings with my 800 gram boots. My feet do just fine.
Here are the socks: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/t...inCatcat20564&catalogCode=QT&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat600967&hasJS=true

I've got a pair of Lacrosse ATS 800 gram boots. I've worn them in the negatives before and was good to go. I wore two pairs of wool socks and that did the job.
