When I was in SoCal some of the guys used them for thier SoCal and AZ hunts. I have no experience with them. Some guys would stalk to a point and then ditch their boots and finish the stalk in socks. Others used the ones that look like the big fuzzy bear slippers and some used the felt sole looking ones. I think the consensus was to find a stalking boot, similar to the Rocky (I forget the model). Some of the problems the guys ran into was cactus stickers, rocks, and burrs.
