    Kinda all of the above.

    I have a pair of Dream Season boots I wear in the early season.(Not much insulation)

    I have a pair of leather boots with 800 grams for later when it's colder.

    I have a pair of Lacross 1600 gram pack style boots for really cold weather.

    I fall in the all of the above category as well.

    I, too, have a pair of Dream Season for early season.

    When it gets cooler, I just bought a pair of 3.5mm AlphaSport.

    Then when it gets cold, 1000gr. Thinsulate leather.

    All of the above depending on where I am hunting and how far I have to walk in.

    Leather Danners. I broke my only one bone in my life,an ankle, and it was 2 years ago in a pair of rubber boots. Never again. I just had the best year of life hunting in leather and they offer ankle support.

    600 gram synthetic Rocky's when I'm hiking a LONG ways in without crossing any water, and 800 gram Alpha Burleys the rest of the time. The Alpha Burleys are what I wear 99.9% of the time, I just vary my socks depending on how warm.
