Newfoundland boots

[TXHunt]

Doing a backcountry moose hunt in Newfoundland next year where we will be covering 8 to 10 miles a day. It seems everyone wears rubber mud boots for Newfoundland…..am I crazy for taking my leather waterproof hunting boots with good knee high gators? I just don’t see how hiking that much in rubber boots can be comfortable at all.

In speaking with the outfitter that I have booked for this fall, most of their guides are using leather boots with gaiters. We will be hunting the Northern Peninsula, so am not sure if that applies to other areas of Newfoundland.

I hunted the last fall and wore rubber boots so did guide and hunting partner. I wish I would have done something different a high end boot with gators? Where I was was either rock or like walking on a wet mattress if had had room take both The guides boots were lighter they were uninsulated
