Stalking shoes

Postby poisonarrow » 05 04, 2014 •  [Post 1]

What do you all do when you stalk. Do you take off your boots? Who has a stalking shoe, moccasin ect that you use. Boots that hike well are noisy.

I stalk in my under armour boots which are a light weight boot.

those sneaky feet bootie things work amazing.

they wear out quickly in the AZ desert. i have to buy another pair. get waaay bigger than you think you need. the sizing is downright ridiculous.

All my stalking is done with the actual boots I wear all day, don't carry anything special for particular situations. Seems to do OK!

I never have time to change shoes when I get into a good hunting situation. And sometimes i've busted branches and kicked dirt to make more noise.
