Dave9.3x62 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Has anyone used used these? I noticed Erol Mason is selling them on his web site and thought they'd be good in the crunchy stuff? Are they any good ? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balltearer Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 One bloke on a review site suggested Bottom of the Safari Sneakers after walking in the desert One thing I noticed about the Safari Sneakers is they pick up just about everything in the desert. As annoying as this is, I don’t think that it impacts how quiet they are in any serious way. As a precautionary measure, I only where them on a stalk, and at the end of the season, I take an hour or two and try and clean them up as best as I can before storing them for the next hunting season. I have also heard and read of other hunters using their Safari Sneakers as a layer over their boots for warmth while on stand. Although never having personally done this, I imagine if it was cold enough, these might help out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they slide under your boot on slopes or rocks at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see them for us sambar hunters as a bit gimmicky, I imagine that the berry canes would sort them out fairly quickly but for padding along a nice clean game trail they could be ok...but where does one find a nice clean game trail in our sambar bush? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wood Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) I have been known to wear a pair of Diving booties from time to time when stalking, particularly if things are very wet, I hate wet boots but I find the booties are ok when wet. They are very quiet, keep your feet warm and you can feel every stick under foot before you snap it. Th epic shows a zip up pair but I prefer strait slip on, no problem wearing a thin pair of socks with the either.
