Getting a leather boot for a hunting boot has advantages and disadvantages

Leather boots are good solid hunting boots. They are super durable and versatile. Leather boots can be made to be waterproof boots and can be resoled if they are of high quality. They also can really support your feet which hunters need in a good hunting boot. They often provide more warmth then some other composite fabric boots. Sometimes even half leather and half a fabric like Gore-Tex makes for an excellent hunting boot.

Probably the biggest problem that a leather boot causes if used as a hunting boot is the fact that they can smell. This means they leave a scent trail wherever you have been. The animals pick this up and stay clear thereby making for an unsuccessful hunting trip. This is why if you are in a situation where trail scent is important to your hunting experience, it is better to use rubber boots. Rubber leaves no scent trail.

So while leather boots offer a lot in the way of hunting boots it does depend on what type of hunting you need the boots for. If you need to do a lot of climbing over rocky terrain and leaving a scent does not matter to you, leather boots might be the superior choice. If you are spending a lot of time in flatter areas with lots of water and can’t afford to leave a scent trail, try rubber boots.
