Congrats bro!  I really do like mine a lot.  Took awhile to get used to them.  Which ones did you get?  The Fugitive GTX?  I would advise getting some Nikwax and treat them from time to time.

Thanks, I think they will end up being a great boot. I got the Pumori mountaineering boot. They don't have much leather but I think your right about the wax. Thanks for the tip and the advice.

Under armour speed freaks! I love mine and I have walked through creeks and still remained bone dry. super comfy and very easy to feel the ground and not bulky. I would recommend them to anyone.

I live and hunt the westside a lot.

I picked up a pair of Vasque hiking boots. They are incredible. I primarily use them for hiking, but because most of my hunting involves rigorous hiking, I go ahead and use them. I got the lightweight gortex style, when these wear out I am going back for another pair. I got them at REI. Good luck!
:yeah:
I have been using mine the last two years for hunting. Originally bought as hiking boots.

I got some red wing vasque clarion gtx hiking boots. Had them for four years. Great ankle support, waterproof, affordable.  Just got them resoled last week.  Really like them.
It is what you meant it to be...
