Thread: Hunting Gumboots

Did a 22km walk in my Mainlander gumboots one day. It wasn't part of the plan, it just sort of happened, Forest Gump-style. They were pretty good, no sore feet! Generally though, I wear tramping boots.

Just Googled them and compared price to my receipt, they might be the only thing in this country that has got cheaper in the last 5 years! I'd hunt in them again if I had to. Just be aware that the top of the boot noisily slaps against the shin as you walk. There's a couple of solutions, tightening the buckle on the boots (slips eventually), wearing thick pants or folding the top of the boot down. Must be common to all gumboots?
