I ended up buy kentrek mountain extreme and love them.. great support and are very comfortable.

Good choice. I've had my kenetrek mountain extreme's for about 5 years now and they're still the best boots I've ever owned.

Danner has a USA made group and the cheaper China ones
 The grouse hunters are awesome out of the box and no break in time I'm running on my 6th season with mine and that includes running bobcat traps for 3 months everyday and I've put one new set of soles on but the uppers are still original and water proof but it's also on how you maintain them

Danner boots are ok until they see water.  After it rains they transform into Danner sponges.

I have a 5 year old pair of Kenetreks.  PathfinderJR has a 1 year old pair of Zamberlains.  We just did a 5 day hunt in Alaska and spent portions of each day wet (marshy tussocks and rained every day).
Both boots stayed dry.  We were both also using Kuiu Gaiters, which I am sure helped.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

After trying on several boots in Colville, Spokane and Cabela's, I settled on the Cabela's Meindl Alaska Hunter. So far they feel good walking around the store and at home in the house. I'm giving them an indoor test run before I oil them up and head out for the break in period.

For me, meindl boots fit my feet better than any other boot. I have the perfekts insulated and the non insulated and they have taken a beating. Good choice

The o p originally asked about the cabelas instinct.
I know it's over a year ago now, but I have that boot and used them last year and just got back from the high hunt and used them hard. I am as happy with them as any boot I've ever had.
But I agree that everyone needs to find their own boot.

Pronghorns are always a solid boot for any condition!
I to run Danner Pronghorns. Solid boot with lots of ankle support and all around protection, Feet stay dry and I dont need to worry about braking an ankle.
Alittle hard to be sneaky though for me because they're pretty bulky. Heavy to. Other than that, solid as a rock.
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.
