I bought these boots for my son and I used them a little last fall while my crispis were getting repaired. I didn't really care for them lots of slip in the footbed I thought. I used to where Pronghorns all the time. One I stepped up to a higher end to boot I can never go back to a Danner type boot. There is a world of difference between $150-200 boots like these Danners and Kenetrek, Crispi, Lowe etc. Obviously close to twice the price but your feet are the most important thing to take care of so don't skimp. If you hunt hard and hike you need good boots more than Swaros around your neck.
