They can make the boot fit a bit tighter, but what I have found out is if I only use a sock liner with the gore Tex socks instead a thick wool sock, then they fit fine.
Funny you mention that SD. Go figure the one year I didn't draw and it practicality floods over there. Thanks for the input. Since I've never hunted 16b, I thought I would scout some new areas. Was there alot of flood damage out there?
