The problem with many of the high top rubber boots is they let out a lot of foot odor from around the top cause they don't fit as tightly to the leg as pac boots or other shorter boots. I use the rubber pac type boots with rubber on the bottom area and nylon type stuff and leather for the upper. Keep them in a plastic bin and don't put them on until I get in the woods. They have never been worn on concrete or in a vehicle. Have had deer walk right over my trail no problem.
