Meindl Perfekt here.  Have worn them hard for 3 years, and they are still in perfect shape.  Love them!

I wouldn't buy breakfast at Rei even if I hadn't eaten in a week. Y'all realize they are a huge supporter of about every greenie organization in earth, right?

Back to boots, the good ole China made Danner gtx, or whatever they're called. All leather goretex work boots. They're light and comfortable and will last better part of a year as work boots so years of hiking and hunting.

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I really need a good pair of boots for my watershed elk hunt. I thought I had a good pair but mile 4 of a 5 miler my feet started to kill me. Any suggestions would be great I too will be going to REI this weekend.

I wore my Kenetrek mountain extremes on my watershed hunt last year and they worked well.

never tried them since they went over seas

Even with a great boot, insoles are a good idea. Particularly if you have flat feet   :tup:
My issue is Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot. Long days in cheep boots will just kill me. I can kick around in most any foot wear without a problem, but when it come to miles I have to have the right boot. I used insoles on these Danners I have but the right one kill my foot, so I took them out after about a mile. I wear Whites, Wesco's and Hathorn Smokejumpers at work. I found you get what you pay for when it comes to good boots. The reviews on the Kenetrek mountain extremes show Plantar Fasciitis issues and the guys took out the insole and replaced it. I don't want to pay over 400 bucks on an boot and have to play around with adjustments.

If you want a pair with a lifetime guarantee look at LL Bean. I bought the Technical Kangaroo boats and they are awesome. Really light and the BOA system is pretty slick.

Kenetrek hands down!  Took a while to break them in but they are the most comfortable boot I've ever worn!  Put a good insole in them and you wont want to take them off!

Even if you don't end up buying from Rei, I would go there and try them on.  I ended up with some Zamberlans and I couldn't ask for a more comfortable boot.  Danners are complete trash compared to these.

I wear an (made-in-USA) older pair of Danner Pronhorns I bought at Cabela's years ago. They have been an excellent pair of boots. Love the side zipper feature.
