Gun Dog It Yourself

175. The Importance of Proper Footwear

Listen Later

Dogs. Shotguns. Vests. Boots. No matter what, these subjects are constantly being discussed amongst bird hunters. However, theres more to the right boot than just the weight and comfort. The right boot actually helps you in the field! On a random drop in on Lathrop & Sons on a recent hunting trip, we lucked into a fun conversation on the importance of proper footwear that may provide a different outlook as to whats really important when selecting the next pair of boots!

  • Who are the Lathrop & Sons?
  • Theres more to it than just a boot being comfortable
  • The key element: Torsional Stability
  • Rocker: The heel higher w/ toe spring
  • Troubleshooting improper footwear to pain
  • The "correct" fit
  • The foot mapping process
  • Maintenance and care for the boots
  • A boot's "durability"
  • The footbeds
  • Footbeds in waders and rubber boots?
