You don't want your feet to be in a world of pain and end up cutting your backcountry hunting trip short. To prevent any injuries or discomfort, consider getting a backcountry boot, focusing on four factors: quality, support, traction, and protection. You will need a backcountry boot made from thick, high-quality leather that provides solid support to your ankle and feet. Boots with rubber soles are good for traction for going up or down an incline. As for protection, look for something waterproof and insulated. But most importantly, buy a backcountry boot that fits your feet.
