Backcountry boots?

[D-Rock425]

What's everyone running for footwear in the backcountry?  I've had 2 sets of miendal perfects the last few years but both sets have started to slowly leak around the seems.  Just ordered a new pair of lowa cevedale boots last week.  I'll post what I think of them after I get some miles on them.

I go as light as possible.  In September I use Altra Lone Peak, the mesh for early and Gore Tex later when there is frost or light snow.  During rifle season, I use the Altras when there is no snow and then move to a typical insulated boot.  I have a pair of Cabelas brand that have been holding up great.

Personally, I just can't stand a heavy stiff boot that most people use.

I know they have a bad reputation, but I am very happy with my 2 year old Danner Pronghorns. They changed the design a couple years ago and they are substantially better than the ones they were making the last 10 years. I have achilles issues and need an athletic fit boot with good ankle support. I tried some of the stiffer sole Meindl's, but didn't like them.

  I have 2 year round seasons on my Pronghorns currently and they have done well. I was skeptical when I bought them but they were on sale and couldn't pass them up. I stay up on my Obenhauf's treatment between uses and i dont see any signs of them dying this year.

A good ol pair of leather logger/work type boots.  Goretex and thinsulate a bonus.  Grease em up with proper oils and wear soles off em in comfort.  Foul weather of course.  Hikers in dry warm weather but always wear fast.  I wear Georgia Romeos often!   Elkhunters and Danners #2.
