I may be in theminority here, but I would have gone with the mucks. I wish I never bought my alfaburlys.  The green ones werefar better. I had holes in my abboots after the first year. The insoles came out after the  third time out, and my feet were always cold.I know how to keep my feet warm too. I still wear mine, but only because I can't afford newones. Hope you have better luck with them than   I did.

I bought some like JC's... the zip ups are great... I got the 1200 gram ones and can't wait for the rut next November... my feet are usually what goes first... but not anymore...

I was out all day last Friday piddling in 9+ inches of snow and never once got cold or overly sweaty like some of my other rubber boots... Get some good wool socks and make sure your toes have some wriggle room...

Never pulled that kinda hunt but been using LaCrosse knee highs for years and years. Best hunting boot out there, put mine through all kinds of terrain from salt marsh, to oak ridge, guess no tundra??

Burlys are the only cold weather boot I found to keep my feet warm?

My last two pairs (non insulated and insulated) just gave out after 7 years. Course I found that out when I waded through a ditch and felt the feet go wet!

They didn't owe me anything!

I really liked them when I got them, really comfortable however they don't seem to take much abuse. I hunt hard and will have to buy another pair this year so I got just over a year of use out of them! I am thinking Muck for my next pair!

I've owned Burlys for many years.  Both light insulated and heavy. I prefer the expandable gusset now for easier on and off.  One thing that I would reccomend is getting a Peet boot dryer and keeping them dry after use each day.  They all have a tendency to sweat inside even on cold days when your walking.  The boot dryer is a cheap way in my book to make your rubber boots last for many years.
If it isn't life or death, it's no big deal.

I have been wearing the air bob sole burley lacrosse boots for a good while. I wore the first pair for about six years for all of my turkey and deer hunting until it got below freezing. They never leaked but the soles got worn down and slippery so I bought a new pair.

I just bought a pair of the Muck Wetlands for when it gets real cold. They feel comfortable but I have heard both the Muck and the Alpha burleys are subject to tearing under the right conditions.

Time will tell.

My alpha burlys are great.Ordering another pair for a size bigger so I can wear a thicker sock.

I just came in from an hour walk with the dog through fields and woods and a fresh 8" of snow. I wore a medium weight low Smartwool hiking sock and with the felt like interior of the boot, my skin doesn't get rubbed at all. A slow walk in 20 degree weather, no cold feet. They have just enough ankle support for the woods of southern Ontario.

Remember, don't forget us poor Trad gangers that can't go.  Take lots of pictures and share.  Good luck, we are all envious.

Stay safe and save a few for seed!!!!!

I had a pair and when wearing them on stand they were comfortable all day , my problem is I have wide feet with a high arch and even with the plastic boot remover I have to fight it out to get them off . I tried a larger size and my foot swam in them . I really liked them just didn't fit my "Flintstone " feet . Best of luck with them and on your hunt , Fred

My uncle is a coonhunter  and I go with when he's here and I noticed that he has a few pair of the green ones and most nights we have to walk alot and he's pretty cheap lol he dose not spend money on something unless its worth every penny so I take it as they have to be good I want a pair but cant afford them good luck.

Hey Greyfox54,

I have the same problem, I have a size 9.5 foot & was up to size 11 to get them off. Have any of you seen the boots with zippers be any help.
I had to cut a pair of 10 to get them off a few years ago.

Thanks
