Looking for suggestions on neoprene boots
I've been a long time fan of Muck Boots but the last 3 pairs developed defects in about 2 years. They cracked on the sides of the foot, one of them had a smaller opening than the other and the lining cloth has come lose in another. They are just too expensive of a neoprene boot for me to buy again.
So I'm looking for suggestions of any brands other than Mucks. Anyone have good experiences they can share with me?

I've also been shopping for a while. While the cabelas branded ones used to be great, they have also declined considerably in quality. 1-2 years max.
The only ones I can tell that are still up to par are the LaCrosse Alphaburlies. But you pay for them now.

Re: Looking for suggestions on neoprene boots
I have Baffin titan -100 deg. Had for well over 5 years and holding up very well. they have gone up $100 since i bought my pair but i would still spend what they are asking if i had to replace them. They are like wearing pillows and never had cold feet wearing them hunting or ice fishing. Impressive insulation.

LaCrosse boots have an excellent review from 2 of my guide friends.
On their recommendation , I bought 3 pairs LaCasse insulated boots this year (one pair for my wife) but not the neoprene version.
LaCasse quality is very good I report and my next pair of neoprene will definitely be from LaCasse .

My son, grandsons and I use La Crosse neoprene boots. We like them. I never used Muck, but my son has used Mucks and he likes the LaCrosse much better.

Re: Looking for suggestions on neoprene boots
I've worn Lacrosse for more than 20 years. I had a pair of Alpha Sports that lasted more than ten years. They were very light and fit great. Too bad they discontinued that line. The foot was more like an athletic shoe in style. The closest they have today is the AeroHead Sport. The last four years I've been wearing a pair of Alpha Agility. They can be more than a pound lighter, per pair, than the Alphaburly boots depending on the level of insulation. The Lacrosse may cost a little more, but I've sure gotten my monies worth our of every pair I've owned.

Re: Looking for suggestions on neoprene boots
Like you I have gone through numerous boots . Best boots hands down for me have been my Kaufmans/sorels . But sadly they are not made anymore here . I still have 20 plus year old uninsulated boots .
The neoprene ones I have gone through a few different manufacturers . Soles seem to be the weak point of most of the chinese boots coming off . Normally it lets go at the furthest point from the truck so I sound like a kid with flip flops coming out .
Like One Shot I still have my -100 Sorel mickey mouse boots .

Re: Looking for suggestions on neoprene boots
My son and I own 3 pairs of LaCrosse, two of them being Alphaburly. Wouldn't buy them again. Was just re-glueing sole on one pair of them last week. Third time I think. Liner inside tore off too easily too. Moderate use at the cottage only.
We also own 3 pairs of Mucks, two of them being Arctic Sports, we use for hunting. Much better boot in my opinion.
Furthermore, we own Baffin Impacts, but I wouldn't use that for hunting for sure. Too warm during hunting season and too cumbersome. Not neoprene anyway.
Most comfortable hunting boots I own are Danner Pronghorn. Also non neoprene, but excellent boot.
Boot geek ya think? Nah...

Re: Looking for suggestions on neoprene boots
I have nothing to recommend, I've worn out every pair of boots I have purchased. They only last 1 to 2 years and then develop cracks at the sole seam or the ankle flex points. But I also wear boots daily all year round, putting them on/off several times for taking out the dogs and doing the chicken/duck/rabbit/goat chores as well as out hunting.
