I might be the only one but I still really like the chota Mukluks. Up to the top of your shin soaker protection and very light and comfortable. I will always wear them to the Quetico. I have never really felt baked in them either.

I'm on my third pair of chota mukluks and this will be my last pair.  Chota seems obsessed with fiddling with a good thing, and they've gone downhill with each new model.  The current model has the world's crappiest cinches at the top of the gaiter.  I replaced them with some thick shock cord and crimps and at least now the gaiters stay up.  

I'm thinking about using my Muck boot for my spring trip.  This is the same boot I use for pheasant hunting.  I bit heavy, but I think it'll work for Spring and Fall.  Also has much better support and sole than the chotas.
