hunting boots

[madmack76]

going out to buy new boots today what do you guys use and why do you like them looking for mid warmth and waterproof

[coop2424]

Meindl perfekts for me have had them for 4 years and still waterproof.  On top of that very comfortable and warm.  Just got a pair of kenetrek's also and I think they are going to be nice also.  The main thing is to get something that fits your feet but I would stick with the European boots they seam like some of the best boots.  Some of the other USA made boots are good also though just have not found any that fit me good.

10-4 fit is a must i will have to check them out what retailers carry them

[coop2424]

Cabelas carries meindl and wholesale sports or whatever it is called now carried kenetrek's last time I was in there.  They are not cheap but will last a long time if cared for.

[madmack76]

looking in the 200 range are they close to that

I've had good luck with Irish Setters. There in your price range
and they carry them at Sunbirds.

I have a helluva time finding boots that fit right.  My work boots are Danners and fit fine.  A couple years ago I tried those Danner Pronghorns and they chewed the hell out of my feet.  I ended up going with some of those Danner desert combat boots.  They aren't waterproof but are some of the most quite and comfortable boots I've used.

I need to also get some waterproof boots.   This offseason I'll also be on the quest to find them.

A little outside the $200 range, but I bit the bullet and bought some Hanwag boots this summer. Tough to do, but in the long run they will save me money. I had been going through 100-150$ boots every 1-2years, but these Hanwag's are going to last me a long time.

Like my miendl perfekts.   Nice boot at good price.

Asolo sasslong is what I have been wearing the last couple hunting seasons. They are waterproof, have great support, great traction, comfortable and warm in the late season snows. I have worn them in in all four seasons and they performed flawlessly. They are moderately priced at 200 dollars. You can pick up a pair from sierratradingpost.com

I have 2 pairs of Rockies. Have had them for years they work great for deer and elk hunting. I think they have 800 or 1000 gram insulate in them.

Asolo makes great boots, they were a real life saver for my ouchy feet!

I'm also on the market for a mid to higher end pair of lightweight, early season boots. My danner jackals have hit the end of their life.

I see Crispi looks to be a new player, anyone try a pair?

[CoryTDF]

Spend the money and get kenetrek's you will love them.

[carpsniperg2]

I keep going back to rocky time and time again. I like that they are a little more stiff because of the support I need for my ankles and braces.

Meindles are great if you don't get the squeek....   I finally gave up and went Kenetreks.   Longer break in period but once broke in awesome

They seem to work the best for me also so every couple of years I get a new set and am always happy.  I always have two pair, the new set and the old set and each time I get a new set I retire the oldest set.  Boots are tough one though you really need to find a pair that works for you, when you find a brand that works stick with it.

I've got a nice pair of Wolverine. They were a great deal since they were $30 off on sale. Very comfortable, warm and I have yet to have them squeak or scrub when walking through thick-ass brush.

I have gotten a couple pairs of Zamberlans I really like. The only place I have found that carrys a decent selection of better boots is a sporting goods store in Longview. I cant remember the name but its where I go for boots any more.

US Army issue Matterhorns for cold weather. Otherwise, what ever keeps my feet dry and is reasonable on my wallet. I learned a LONG time ago to let go of brands (except Dodge, well because Dodge is the Best  ). Some of the best boots I have owned and hunted in are my US Army Issue recruit boots. Those bad boys are broken in something fierce. I also have 2 pairs of Rockies that I LOVE!!!!

I usually take 2 pair of boots out with me, depending on the terrain and the weather, so that I ensure that one pair is always dry (newspaper method when in tents and I have a boot dryer for when we are in trailers). Just make sure that you take an actual pair of your hunting socks with you to try them on!

I have owned a single pair of Danner boots I purchased probably 10 or more years ago, I don't recall the name but similar to the Grouse. I only wear them for a week a year for hunting. I just recently had them stretched by Danner and the uppers reconditioned. They have been awesome. Unfortunately they are too short now and will be relegated to work boots as I ended up with dead toenails last year.

I considered getting the same this year but went a different route...no real reason just wanted to try something new. I have a pair of Zamberlan Guide GT RRs on their way. I loved the fit of all the Zamberlan's, they fit my feet great. I'll let ya all know how they work out.

As a side note...I ordered them from a place called CCoutdoorstore using a new customer 17% discount (good through the end of September I think). Selection, service and shipping are phenomenal (so far).
