yes these type of foot ware really assist you in improving your stalking capabilities..it is soft on the ground, can take some thorns as well...you wear these shoes without any socks at all...if you really want to get close to the game you just take these shoes off and continue the stalk with bare feet,...

As an "Igilsman" I can tell you that traditional music around the fire at night is a spiritual experience.
