Favorite hunting foot wear?

Theres nothing more uncomfortable than, cold, wet or sore feet when hunting.
When it comes to hunting gear, footwear is high on the list.
Just curios what footwear has proven itself best for you?

LL Bean hunting shoe, 8" or 10" or knee high rubber boots in the swamps. LaCross, ProLine, Cabelas, I've had several over the years. All with good wool socks.

I have lots of different boots, but for stand hunting, I usually wear Muck Woodymax boots.  They're a bit warm for a lot of walking though.  I wear leather boots if stillhunting.

In warm weather I wear Cabela's snake boots. Most of the rest of the time I wear a pair of ankle high field shoes from Sportsman's Guide or a pair of all leather military boots. If it is wet I wear LL Bean Maine Hunting shoes. I always wear wool socks, even in hot weather.

Gronell hikers are my office in the fall.  

I also like the still hunt in light shoes like a sanuk.  quiet and comfy on warm days.

Bean boots or Muck Woody Max depending on conditions.  I also wear wool socks and sometimes spray down my feet with antiperspirant if it's very cold.

Lacrosse Alpha Burlys early, Schnees when colder, always poly liner sox and wool, medium to heavy, depending on temps.
I'm not a neoprene fan any more. I have a pair of Arctic Muck Boots which are super comfortable, very warm so not for mild weather, BUT I haven't worn them too much in the woods, but the rips and nicks in the neoprene uppers are discouraging. We've got fairly thick cover here with lots of little bushes, dead sticks, etc. maybe those boots are for marshy, grassy areas only. All rubber only for me or RBLT's(Schnees or LLB).

Whatever's lightweight and comfortable. I have to walk to far for heavy rubber boots, so wear Irish Setter Lighteweight Wellingtons or Cabela's Camo Tennis Shoes until it's too cold for them. I then wear a pair of Sportsman's Guide lightewight Wellingtons with 1000 gram insulation, Wigwam socks and heating pads taped to socks on top and underneat toes.

LL Bean Maine Hunting Shoe 16" until it gets below freezing.  Then I shift to a 14" Kennetrek Grizzly pac boot.  I hate knee high rubber boots, but I love tall lace up boots.  I have still not found an all leather boot that gives me the advantages of the two boots I have mentioned (but I am not hunting mountains where I might need a more rugged or a more lightweight boot).
