Camp shoes

I have some down booties with cordura soles that I used for several years. They work great when its dry, but they soak out quick if there is any moisture on the ground. I'm trying a pair of the First Lite mocs this Fall -neoprene sole with synthetic insulation. Seems as if they'll stand up better to moisture.
 
I’ve used the Teva ReEmber mids the past couple seasons and really like them. I actually started carrying them around wearing them while glassing/stationary, they’re way warmer than my boots and very comfortable.
 
I like a neoprene canoe or fishing boot. Something like this https://www.cabelas.com/p/cressi-isla-neoprene-boots?ds_e=GOOGLE&ds_c=Cabelas|Shopping|PMax|Boating|General|NAud|Google|NMT&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20046766060&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjbvphImQjwMVrDPUAR3S0CtLEAQYASABEgIwy_D_BwE

They work great when backpack camping too, and can be used for creek crossings that overtop your boots but then will be wet inside. If not warm enough by themselves wool socks can be worn inside them.
 
Feathered friends have some. The shell removes, so you can keep them on in your sleeping bag. Super light and warm.
Thank you for sharing this! I almost bought one of there puffies and I have been looking to replace my current Amazon down booties with something just like this and MADE IN USA!
 
Kanes shoes, will not absorb water, dry quickly, more comfortable than running shoes. Only shoe I wear now. Have a non perforated version with a neoprene collar that will now be my cold weather shoe. The eva foam works well as insulation.
 
Has anyone tried the Chaco Ramble Rugged Shoes? I see they're $30 on Sierra and look decent? Rubber sole, warm, and water resistant.

Did you end up getting these? I just found these in sierra too. Only issue is the weight but I’m gonna pack in twice since I’m going in early and won’t bring my rifle till the season actually starts so I’ll already be going back to the truck
 
For a puffy style shoe if you're not backpacking in I recommend something with a rubberized sole and synthetic insulation. I have the North face thermoball booties and they're a lot more useful in any wet conditions than my down mtneering style ones. The down booties a la feathered friends are worth it for self supported truly wintery conditions but for me in PNW that's pretty rare. Maybe late season MT/WY/CO
 
I tested out the First Lite camp booties this month - synthetic insulation with a neoprene sole. We were out during the tropical storms that swept through SW CO and dumped a historic amount of moisture. They worked very well -stayed mostly dry, dried out quickly. Not was warm as my down booties, but down booties become worthless real fast as soon as moisture is introduced.
