Best all around all leather boots?

[Marcoramius]

I retired my Irish Setter Elk Trackers from hunting last year after almost 5 years and over 1000 miles...they are a great boot in the $200ish range. I still wear these as my everyday work boot as I have for the past 2-3 years.
I am now sporting Cabelas Miendl ultralights which have done very well also...logged 97.5 miles on them in 11 days during this past deer season. Little to no break-in time needed for these. Only complaint is they don't have a loop to help get them on.

New Balance tennis shoes all the way for me......$45   

I wear Brooks Beast. Best support in a running shoe for full sized people. I only wear them to run in though. I find they last a lot longer that way. About $100 or so.



Orthopedic ones??

..........and here I thought I found some friends on HW. Boy, was I mistaken....

Couldn't be happier with kenetreks, both the mountain extreme and hardscrabble. One thing to note is they're not for everybody. They're perfect for my feet but I've seen some horrible blisters from them on friends. The same can be said with all boots though. I've seen it with lowa, Crispi, Mendl...

What some folks don't realize is that conditioning your feet goes a long ways as does conditioning the rest of your body.   No matter what the boots are.

As does taking care of your boots i.e. cleaning and applying boot grease or conditioner

at least look at them, they can send a kit and instructions for you to measure your own feet for custom also. They are not that expensive.
I have "Job Masters" and cowboy boots by WESCO over 20 years old, rebuildable. the most comfortable boot I have ever worn.

I have a pair of Irish Setters I have had for at least years now ..Never had my feet wet yet ..Plus very soft soles for sneaking around quietly ...Love them !

The lineman i work with all wear La Sportivas, if they swear by them so would I. They also wear whites for the Nasty stuff.

I have kenetreks and love them but it takes about 30+ miles to really break them in well.
