hot weather hunting shoes
«

I havn't ever hunted during the HOT part of the season. I will this year without a doubt.
I'd like to try to get a deer or hog from the ground so i have been looking into trypes of footwear for stalking.... I wore my Sperry boat shoes on my last scouting trip and I could feel everything I put my foot on.
Have any of you hunted in them before? Do you think its a good idea? Thanks for your thoughts.

I am hunting in a pair of low top "tennis shoes" that I got at academy sports. They are brown leather and look like a pair of leather converse low tops. You have decent feel of the ground and they are holding up okay. Little more protection with the leather top.

I wear several different types of footwear during the season. I guess my first thought on your post seeing where your from and hunting on the ground would be snakes...
We really don't have anything up here but copperheads and a very few rattlers and ya have to really be in the right place to encounter one of them.
I like New Balance shoes. They fit me well. I am also inclined to wear the more technical light weight hiking ankle high shoes. When it cools off or is wet I go with LL Bean Maine hunting shoe....

I have a pair of those 'desert boots' they are really ankle high gum soled shoes and as silent as it gets. They keep some of the stickers off your socks and skin too.

From Robtattoo:
Ghillie boots (I swear, my mission in life is to convert all American hunter to these things!) They're ultra, ultra lightweight, soft, flat soled & silent to stalk in. If you eiher don't mind wet feet when it rains, or have an alternative for wet weather, Ghillies are the perfect early season/stalking boot.

FWIW met a guy up at Denton Hill with those separate toed VIbram shoes who claimed he'd been able to walk up on elk in them in warm weather. They even make toed socks to go with them if you're so inclined.

With the temperature hitting 104 degrees today, I wear blue/gray colored "sneakers" also commonly known as Nike running shoes.
They're very light in weight too.
