I can cinch my mukluks tight at the ankle and below the knee so that even when swimming (under current conditions) the water ingress in minimal and I can use my feet for prpulsion (especially with appropriately sized scuba fins). I know of no rubber boots that would allow me to do this. My mukluks are sufficiently large to allow wearing pretty thick socks, so that I do not suffer unduly even when when taking the boat to and from the put-in / take-out -- again under current conditions of snow and ice.
