"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

I went through this earlier this summer.  finally settled on Danner "full curl"  and I love them!

They feel a lot like my Rocky pro hunters (1999 old style, still made in the USA) did when I first got them.   NO BREAK IN TIME!  Lots of supports and very comfortable.

Danner Santiams for late season or wet cold weather and Danner 453 GTX for early season. They are pricey but they last me for years with minimal maintenance.

I love my Schnee's pack boot for wet weather or snow.  They are expensive but having dry feet and being comfortable is worth it IMO.

Well I can say I am impressed with the Kennetrek mountains, I used Meindl for several years and Danners before that. The think I like about the Kennetrek is they use better thread on their stiching. Not that cheap cotton stuff. I had to take my meindls to a boot repair place to have them restiched and that made the gotex start leaking. I guess you get what you pay for. My :twocents:

Funny thing. I love Rockies and danners. One year my Rockies went out on me I had them for about 5 years. Well I was out on a hunt I drove into a small town and needed some boots that were waterproof quick. I picked up a pair of Carhart boots. I do not know what kind as they do not say on the boot. Well as it turned out this is the best rain/swamp/hill westside boot I have ever bought!!!! I have used them for 4 years and boy have they held up. I was pleasantly surprised. Never ever wet they breath great I have nothing but good things to say about them.  :twocents:

I Bought a pair of LaCrosse hunting boots this year...I have owned all other boots and I have to tell ya!  These are the best boots I have ever had.  I walked 5 miles in 1 ft of snow yesterday and not even a moist sock or a cold foot....Awsome boots!!   
The wife said if I go hunting 1 more time, she's going 2 leave me!!  Gosh I'm gonna miss her.

I love my Redwings. You couldn't give me a pair of Danners after my first and only pair. They hurt my feet so bad I could hardly walk for the the first two months. "Okay" after that, but I'm not down with 8 week break-in time. Redwings were money for me right out of the box.
