Well, dry footing it would have been a little bit impossible on my last trip. The landings weren't to good, I'm not sure how high the Mukluks are. But one portage I had was knee deep in water for about 75 yards. (Hustler to Oyster... 310 rods). Aren't the Mukluks kind of warm to wear during warm weather? The sock liner makes sense and so does the insoles... Or maybe a different pair of boots... Wonder what Denton Doc or Jimbo might say about the possibility of dry footing it in WCPP? I also had to wet foot it on Ge be on a quet Creek... Or as I named it Gee Ben ought to quit creek... as it was too shallow, lots of rocks.
