Best boots

[emac]

I know this has been discussed before, but wanna discuss it again.  What are the most light weight versatile hunting boots.  I am fortunate to get a new pair of boots every year.  I have always been a fan off danners and they have been my go to boot.  The last couple years I have gotten the crispi Colorado and the lowa renagade.  I am a huge fan of both the boots but the renagades seem to have shrunk and are tight when I put them on then loosen up once i hike about a half mile.  I have been looking at the hoka kaha gtx.  A couple people I know are wearing them and love them.  So let's here your guys thoughts.

Zamberlain are my go to hunting boots.   Absolutely love them.  I wear the heavy duty ones so they are not lightweight but they do make many different styles.   

I have also enjoyed the asolo brand in a more lightweight hiking boot.   They run a little more narrow so as I have aged and feet have flattened, I changed to the zambelain.

Danner Sierra’s. I’ve owned the Danner Grouse before and the lugs in the soles seem to hold more mud in my experience.

Lowa Tibets are pretty comfy, although they're not full height.  I like Crispi Summits also.

Kennetreks. Can’t beat them in my opinion.

Kennetreks. Can’t beat them in my opinion.

I agree, at least compared to Lowa and Crispi, the 3 brands I own, I think both the guide and mountain extreme are great.

If you can afford to get new boots EVERY year then continue to get danners.

My Danners were $150, and are VERY comfortable, but seem to be falling apart after a few years. Maybe thats reasonable for $150 boots?

If your swimmin in money keep buying whats comfortable

Not swimming in money.  They are work boots that  I get about this time of year break them in hunting and then wear them out at work the next season.

ok, I’d agree w this but have to ask, how long do you expect the waterproofness to last w kennetrek?  I’ve owned mine since 2019, put a few miles on them, cleaned and oiled them once. This past week, I had water sloshing around in my boots, very wet west side huckleberry brush.  Should I hate my boots, or after 3 years are they done?

For me it’s Irish setter elk hunters. I buy a new pair every year. I keep the previous years boot s as a back up. The two year old boots get used for work around the cabin.

I have always looked at the Irish setters but you never hear anyone talk about them.  I will look into them again.

I HATED my mountain extremes.  Went to the Lowa Tibet gtx a couple years ago and they've been great for me.
