For normal hunting deer or turkey, I use a pair of Rocky full lace up snake boots. I average about 5-6 years with a pair. Once broke in, they are the most comfortable I've ever worn. If I am scouting and it's hot, I use both boots and chaps. The brand for the chaps are Rattler and mine are at least 20 years old. They're hot as all get out, but I feel naked without them.
