Q: boot recommendations for perdiz hunting, like what type of sole or ankle support is best
AWS EXPERT REPLY
For perdiz hunting in Argentina, especially given the varied terrain you might encounter – from dewy fields to slightly uneven ground – boot selection is indeed crucial for comfort and safety.
Here are some recommendations:
• Sole Type: You'll want a sole that offers excellent grip without being overly aggressive, as you'll be doing a lot of walking. A Vibram sole or similar high-traction rubber sole is highly recommended. Look for a pattern that sheds mud easily but still provides stability on wet grass, soft earth, and dry stubble. Avoid overly stiff mountaineering soles, as they can be uncomfortable for long walks.
• Ankle Support: This is paramount for perdiz hunting, where you're often walking through fields with hidden dips and bumps. A mid to high-cut boot (8-10 inches) will provide the necessary ankle stability to prevent twists and sprains. Ensure the ankle collar is well-padded but not so restrictive that it limits natural movement.
• Waterproofing: Absolutely essential. Early mornings can be very dewy, and unexpected puddles can occur. Boots with Gore-Tex or similar waterproof, breathable membranes are ideal to keep your feet dry and comfortable throughout the day.
• Comfort and Fit: This is perhaps the most important. You'll be covering significant distances, so your boots must be comfortable and well broken-in before your trip. Ensure they fit well with your preferred hunting socks – not too tight, not too loose.
• Weight: Lighter boots will reduce fatigue over a full day of walking, but don't sacrifice durability or support for excessive lightness.
