A Bird in Hand
A bird in hand may be worth two in the bush, but tired, wet feet could mean missing your shot completely. This Flyway Waterproof boot in Briar Pitstop full-grain leather is part of the Thorogood 1957 Series — classic style and modern technology delivering comfort, durability, and slip-resistance.
This 6″ Flyway hunting boot exceeds the avid upland bird hunter's requirements: a cushioned removable footbed for all-day comfort, a breathable waterproof membrane to keep your feet dry and blister-free, a rubber midsole for shock absorption with every step, and Goodyear welt construction for years of durable wear. The simple yet effective ‘cellular wedge’ directional pattern of the lightweight outsole resists mud and slipping so you can flush and shoot with confidence all day long.
