There are several companies that produce rubber hunting boots, but the best boots will combine traction control, comfort and insulation while being scent-proof and waterproof.

Cabela's Dura-Trax

• When Cabela's developed the Dura-Trax, they combined running shoe technology with traditional rubber hunting boot technology. The result was the lightest, warmest and most comfortable rubber boot that Cabela's offers. Dura-Trax boots are available in a range of insulations for various weather conditions, including uninsulated, 800-gram or 1,200-gram. The uninsulated boots----weighing only 4.5 pounds per pair----are perfect for warm-weather, late-season turkey hunts or early-season deer hunts. Available in a variety of camouflage patterns from Realtree to Mossy Oak, a pair of Dura-Trax costs $109.99 to $129.99.
