Keeping your feet dry?
yakimanoob:
Hey folks,
Just wondering what your footwear setup is for mild rainy conditions walking through wet brush. So far, I haven't found a reliable way to keep my boots from getting soaked when trudging through wet brush in rainy weather.
This weekend I was using the cabelas space rain pants with mid-height OR gaiters and my Scarpa Zodaic hiking boots. Best I can tell all of the individual parts are solid, but water still got in through the tops of my boots and my feet were soaked most of the time.
What do yall do to keep your feet dry?

I've never had my feet get wet with good boots and good gaiters.
You shouldn't get rain in the top of your boots if your boots, rain pants, and gaiters are waterproof, so somethign is off. Either boot, gaiter, or pants failed.
I use Zamberlan boots and Operation Research gaiters. Variety of different rain pants, but usually Sitka. I've spent 10 days backcountry hunting in snow and heavy rain multiple times with this setup.

I only wear boots, waterproof leather, and shy of stepping in water above the places I've never had wet feet. Are you sure your boots just don't breathe and it's sweat?

Muck boots all day long. Some ppl dont like them because they dont fit very good since there sizing isnt very specific.
