Taking the proven VaprTrek design a step further, VaprTrek™ LS 1200 Hunting Boots for Men from Irish Setter® give hunters superior traction from a lightweight and breathable hunting boot. Built on the new dual density RPM LS outsoles, VaprTrek LS boots give you all the support, stability, and durability you expect from a traditional Irish Setter hunting boot with less weight.

Warm and breathableThese boots with the 1200g insulation are quite warm. Wearing them without warm socks I can stomp around in the snow, stand in 44 degree streams and stay warm for several hours. As for standing in streams, they're nice and waterproof too. I wore them fly fishing and stood just off the bank in 44 degree flowing water just to test them out and they kept me warm and dry.
Comfort wise they are great as well. I've worn them all day both hiking and around town and my feet feel just fine even after several hours up and about.
These things breathe very well. I've used them on hikes in temperatures in the 70s and my feet don't feel hot and when I take them off, there is the same amount of sweat as when I take off super lightweight minimalist shoes, far less than when I wear standard cowboy boots.

Completely satisfiedI am insanely happy with these boots. I wore them for the first time this weekend. Temps were high 30's with gusty wind and pouring freezing rain. The terrain was an absolute mud pit. My feet were as comfortable as they would have been kicked up by the fireplace and, I trudged through the mud without slipping and sliding. They definitely run small. I got a half size bigger than usual. They seemed tight at first with heavy socks but, they ended up being incredibly comfortable all day.
I highly recommend these boots.

Only boot that is comfortable for meI have issues with an old ankle injury and have a hard time finding boots that are comfortable. When I first put them on, they felt odd with a high arch. Eventually they broke in and now I can wear them all day and on long hikes with no pain. First pair of boots I've owned in a long time where I could claim that. I loved them so much, I bought the lightweight pair for early season also and had same results with the lighter pair. As far as waterproof, I've waded through streams to get to my stand with no issues. I wouldn't stand in running water with them, but they did the job through temporary submersion and rainfall.

Good for late season stand huntingI purchased these to replace another boot that had less insulation. These are pretty tight to get on and required a bit of a break in period. After break-in, the boots are very comfortable and definitely keep my feet warm with low activity levels. I wore them in low 20's weather with 20-30 mph wind and my feet were never cold. I have walked through streams and had no issues with wet feet, but can't say I sat in rain or snow for a long period.
My feet are narrow, so this boot works well for me. I could see people with wider feet having some issues however. They definitely seem to run narrow due to the 1200g insulation.

Way undersizedIt took two returns to finally get a size that would fit.
I'm 65 and wear a 9.5 dress shoe.
I ordered 9.5 - couldn't even get my foot in it. Ordered a 10 - same issue. This is with wearing a medium Browning wicking sock. I finally ordered an 11 M and they fit fine.
I wasn't able to have them for Wisconsin rifle hunting but have worn them on the ice and for plowing snow etc. and they are great.
Good traction, very warm. Just getting them broken in.
Great boot - just run extremely small.

Great boot for cold weather huntingI put this boot to the test during a 4 hour sit in a tree-stand. The temperatures ranged from 4 to 16 degrees without my toes going numb. They're comfortable to walk, provide good ankle support but don't choke your instep like some lace-ups do. They perform better than a pac boot in a smaller package. These will be my go-to late season footwear.
