Lacrosse Alpha Burly FLX.  I don't want to admit it, but they are better than the original Grange.  Uninsulated of course.  Rubber coated neoprene is the ticket.

Laugh at the Chucks if you must, but you can throw them right in the washing machine which is a plus for hot weather footwear IMO.    :p

And they're cheap.  Wally World knockoffs even cheaper.

Irish Setter 200g. boots ("shadow trek"?).  I figure I'll sweat no matter what I wear, and the 200g. insulation gives a wide range of comfort.  They're a bit stiff for stalking, but they're comfortable as all get out.  When it gets real cold, my Danner Pronghorns in 1000g.

Most of the above mentioned are great choices.

I use Danner pronghorns, Uninsulated Bean's and The vibram 5 fingers. All depends where exactly Im going, what Im doing and which ones are closer to me when Im grabbing for a set. Ive even used my issued Blackhawk tactical desert boots.

Merrell GTX Chameleon mid heights.

Have hunted AZ, AK, CA, and GA.  Awesome boot with great heel cup and vibram sole.  Swift, silent, and deadly...

Snakeboots. Other than that I use a pair of field shoes ordered from The Sportsman's Guide for $59.00. The field shoes are very comfortable for casual walking, and I don't have any steep, rough terrain that calls for special ankle support.

I have a new pair they look like  camo cross training shoes, they are made by danner. I bought them from Cabelas, we will see how well  they work.

Some 8" Bean boots for early season in VT which is Oct. If it was 90 out, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be hunting.

Don't know the name of them but they are from Cabela's, I tried looking them up but couldn't find them. They are sneakers inside a rubber boot, you tie the sneaker first then just zip up the boot, they are attached to each other. Very comfortable and light.
