Thread: Stalking Slippers??

This has probably already been done but will ask anyway.

Whats out there cheap and nasty, lightweight just slips into the backpack as back-up footwear,

A firm but soft soul.

Any ideas. dive booties, grand dads slippers..whatever.

Interested to know.

Personally i have shot plenty of deer in my heavy leather boots up close and personal, even wearing what you are talking you can still make noise, just got to watch where you step

Real leather mocasins like the First Peoples would have worn in the America's, even crocs would be ok

I was more thinking a back up for to keep the leatheries dry if a wet run of weather comes through.

About to spend a bit of time in the bush and want to avoid daily wet feet in one pair of boots.

Might stop at warehouse and see what they got, hopefully something more than pink bunny rabbit slippers.

you could buy red band gum boots and cut them down just make sure you make neat cuts

Yeh... I knew some was going to tell me harden up, my feet are just too delicate.

Might trial something like this for extreme wet days
Rubber overboot

I use gubbas around camp, they are great.
Don't try and stalk in them though, they have little to no grip! Trust me i've arsed over heaps of times in them

U can always just gaffer tape neoprene onto normal boot. That type of setup slips , turns and sweats like....

Yeh, I know what you mean, would limit use to the wettest day only, my more successful days are after about 6 hours of pouring rain.

Very compact would push into corner of pack easy as.

Buller lace-ups were the go in my younger days

On a longer trip, esp if flying in, I take dive boots or a pr of old runner's,

used to take an old pr socks with a leather sole sown in, great for hut use.
