I used to use bootfoots all the time . then tried stockingfoot 9 years ago and love the support for rivers and rocky shores , bootfoots lack here bad . I get some sand in the top of my shoes under the gravel guards . Ive tried them without gravel guards same thing . but for the long walks cant be beat . I havent tried the new hiking boot type yet but that should be the next variety I try . One thing is for those in a hurry bootfoots are much faster to get you in the blitz quicker . BUT !
As far as brand ? Ive used all if not most . there are really only a couple companies that make them OEM for all the ones out there . so they all are about the same and Ive been buying for warrenty alone for some time . Ive had good luck with orvis and hodgeman , LL bean has a good warrenty , orvis used too but still better than most . Im not sure what the policy is either as Ive gotten different stories . Simms has a good product and a good warrenty but they are pricey . who is their OEM company ? cabellas will stand behind them for a time ( but I wont shop from them ) . how long I dont know .
