actually this is a funny story.
i kept the rockies cause they were much lighter and felt much better on my feet.
however after two weeks of hiking in the mud, snow, rain and dirt i had to send them back and they sent me a brand new pair.
i set them next to the camp fire to dry them out and the soles de-glued from the sole.
i didnt think they were that close and sure enough they had a recall on those boots and the bad glue they used to glue them.
BUT they fixed that problem and i have a brand new pair for next year and i like them alot.
the rockies are better in my opinion.
They are really a lot lighter than the others and seem to be great in the wet snow.
 :dunno: :hello: :IBCOOL:

I was a danner guy for years(my last pair lasted 10yrs and 2 soles, and I still have them), but this summer I picked up a pair of Asolo Fugitive GTX and LOVE them. No break-in, and super comfy. So far I have put about 40 miles on them and no issues. The first outing was an early season elk hunt that included about 15 miles of hiking the first day, and packing out a bull the next, with not so much as a hot spot!

Sounds like you got a pair of winners there! If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it right? There are allot of fine boots on the market today. The first pair of boots I hunted in were my old military boots. They were simple leather boots, not gortex or insulated, but they fit my feet perfectly. I could hunt all week and never have a problem with blisters or rubs. I did suffer from cold, wet feet at times. When I got my first pair of gortex boots I was very impressed. My hunting boots are just that. I don't use them for anything else.

I second the Danner Pronghorns for comfort, warmth, and durability.  Lots of miles on mine and been thru all elements including saltwater and are still awesome.
