Mine were solely for hunting. Scrambling up and down/sideways on hillsides. I have changed over to Katahuna micro spikes and hiking boots.

.The insulated version used to suit me well, seasonally, and now they are mushy, poorly fitted garbage.

Extra toughs will grip on a wet metal roof,,,,,….i was happy to find that out….

They shine on wet surfaces, that was their intended application. Also, much like a bunny boots they have a wetsuit effect if you step over the tops and they fill with water it warms to body temperature pretty fast

I wear them for knocking about every day unless it’s too cold. Don’t like them for hiking and for climbing they suk. Harbor ramp at minus tide is bad enough

They dont fit me - either too big or too small in the larger sizes with no half sizes

I like the armor pro 10" highs for that, whether I'm working or hunting. They're supportive and tough, and they keep your feet as dry as a short boot can. For southeast they have enough insulation to make a decent winter boot too.

Problem with leather hiking boots comes mostly on the beaches. Leather requires additional care with immersion in salt water. Changing in/out of footwear sucks in the field.
I’ll check out the Armor Pro’s.

Need them for deck boots, the new muck boots suck, Kamiks are too stiff, everything is too expensive, lol

The armor pros are coated in what looks and feels like truck bed liner, they hold up really well in SE, they handle the salt, rocks, brush, etc. I get about 18 months out of them cutting timber, if I was just hunting or hiking in them they'd last several years

I haven't read the rest of the replies above, but the first that were made overseas had problems, the current ones are very close to the originals, hard to really tell any difference. I have several of the new pairs scattered in various places across the North Pacific.

Like otter 3006, I have LaCrosse for hunting, and Xtratuff for the boat. By a size larger, put a flat felt insole in the for extra insulation.

In addition to the left insole, I used a sock-like neoprene boot liner, in addition to added warmth, I turn it inside-out every evening to dry any condensation, otherwise just like any other rubber boot your feet will always be damp..

Just a heads up, xtra tuff site has 12" legacy boots in black for 49 bucks....most sizes available

I’ve had several pairs but they don’t hold up for me. I have a pair now but I’ve been wearing the BassPro Redhead boots that are half the price and last twice as long. They are a little stiff at first but break in and feel fine for me.
