I bought these boots for my Alaskan moose hunt. I wore them everyday. They were very comfortable but with my Merino wool socks and the neoprene uppers of the boots it made my feet sweat. It felt like there was water in my boots. My feet never got cold but it was kind of annoying. Overall they're a good boot but I just wouldn't recommend them for walking around for hours. I believe they'll be a great boot for tree stand hunting here in the Midwest for whitetails.
