Tall boots with good support. Heavier than mountain boots, but keep your feet dry in woodland terrain and under a heavy load.

Hunting boots are tall boots that give good support. They are generally heavier than mountain boots, but in return they keep your feet dry more effectively. They work well if you move about a lot in woodland terrain, off paths and tracks. Their stability makes them the best option when you have to carry a heavy pack.
