boots and gloves recommendations

[floatinghat]

I want to swap out my boots, my current boots are stiff and support well but are loud.  I typically will get back 5-10 miles on roads and trails.   So once back there I don't want to ruin a stalk with my boots, any recommendations?   10.5-11 W.

Gloves, light/lighter weight and water proof.  Something for those nasty wet western WA days of late elk / deer.  They don't need to be camo, green or brown would be just fine.  It seems most everything is heavy and insulated

 :)for gloves, everyone always thinks I am kidding but I am not, take about 3 pair of white ox work gloves, they weigh nothing, get wet and change them, they slip off easy to shoot.

I think most hard sole boots are loud. You can really creep with XTRA Tuffs. Dead silent and waterproof/scent proof. I like Lowas. I have the Tibet Gtx HI and they are sweet

Thanks,  I have seal skins for fishing, they don't work for me.  I just don't like the feel of them.  But I will look at the GTX's.  I know someone who swears by ultra tuffs, so I might have to try them out.  I have a pair of bogs that might work along that line.  My only concern is lack of support and walking/biking and hopefully packing UT/Bogs etc.
 I'll have give that thought process a go.

It may not be what your thinking but Costco has a smoking deal on blacknutility gloves. It close to $5 for a pack of 10 or 12 can't remember Wells Lamont is the brand. I use them for work gloves mostly but I used them for duckhunting and shooting my bow at the archery club. They are cheap black semi waterproof all synthetic. Don't work awesome when its really cold but I did use them while duck hunting when it was 20 degrees out. I did have pockets to stuff my hands into.

I've seen people talk about Mechanix gloves for hunting, and I always thought they were kind of gimmicky for car work.  Until I tried them for a winter brake job.  I'll give them a go this year.

The ones with extra padding are sweet dirt bike/motorcycle gloves. 2c

I just used the straight base black pair.  They were warm and the material reminded me of my OR windstopper material, yet thinner.  Good grip.  Good dexterity.  Warm and cheap.  I'll see how they hold up in the wet weather.

I sometimes still use Mechanics gloves when hunting. Hunting Winthrup area I was going through multiple pairs each trip, and they suck when wet.

For everyday use they work great.
