I have lived in my Muckboots last few years. Wetlands model. Hardly ever wear my Danner Quarry anymore. Ive worn out three pairs of Danner quarrys and at least four pairs of Danner hikers in the last ten years. I buy a new pair of Mucks every year now. Just tossed one pair at the dump day before when my new pair got here. They are so comfortable.

In my personal experience I'm not found any boots be totally waterproof, except if ton
of sno seal are  apply every time when I'm going out. If you do mountain hunts go with danner or lowa. But for general hunting boogs, muck or Irish setter neoprene boots will do there job.

My Cabela's Meindel Perfekts are still fully waterproof. I want to say this is their 5th or 6 season.  They've been outstanding boots.

Apologies if they were mentioned earlier but I might have skimmed past it.

Anyone have experience with Scarpa boots?  How do they perform, and hold up?  Worth the $$?

I have the Danner Pronghorns gore-tex as well but they are the camo version with half canvas...  comfort wise they are great, waterproof they are not.  Even with the Gore-Tex, I got one good season out of them before they started leaking.

 :yeah:   Very same problem. Comfortable but not waterproof after first season.

Ill say it doesn't matter who makes the boot! they purchase gore tex liners it has nothing to do with the boot manufacture when the boot leaks. Gore is crap! it was never designed to be creased. I have owned many high end boots and ALL of them leak within a year

Ariats all day. I swear by them. They are expensive but mine have lasted over 4 years so far working on the farm, hunting, hiking. I wear them for everything. They are very comfortable and very durable. They also are still waterproof after 4 years.

I also have Cabela's Meindel boots that are doing the job well. My feet got wet on our rainy opening day of rifle deer season, but that was only because I forgot to put on my gaiters & rain pant - wet pant result in wet socks, which then wick in to the boot. During a very wet and rainy day during rifle elk, my feet stayed totally dry because I was smart enough to put on my gaiters and rain pants. The boots did exactly what they were supposed to do!

They seem to be all purpose for me.
I don't own the decretive ones. I own the functional ones. Yes, you can ride horses with them if that's what you want to do (I know how to ride horses and will do it if I have to, but not my favorite thing. I'm not a fan of horses.) If you want I can try and find a pic of the ones I got, I couldn't be happier with them. I have really used them hard, wear them almost every day, and no issues.
