Just be aware that Meindles quality has gone downhill. Talked to my cousins in Canada that swore by them and won't buy them anymore don't last a year.  :twocents:

Hasn't been my experience.  But the guys I work with that all wore kennetreks have been switching over to Crispis because the say the same thing about Kennetreks :dunno:

Scheel's in Meridian has a solid selection of good boots, easy to get to off of I84 if you're going through Idaho. Their store in Missoula is smaller, but good too. It's a little ways off I90 though.

I had good luck with a pair of Cabela's Iron Ridge.  Very economical as well (around $175 now).  The "nubbin" soles while different worked very well on a variety of terrain and were easy to get the mud out.  Any Cabela's or Bass Pro.

Couple years ago I went to Thorogood Infinity FD.  Amazing comfort.  Bit more $ (around $250 now) but cheaper than many.  Would have to look up a retailer.

Couple different insulation options on both.

IME any bonded on sole will eventually fail, but only after serious miles.

 I would call Kennetrek on Tuesday tell them your story. I would be surprised if they couldn't/wouldn't hook you up in time. :twocents:

You won't be disappointed

Started off with tatra tops, and have been wearing my trapper tops more lately. Love them both so much, I've boughten new pairs of each while on sale, for when I wear mine out. Absolutely amazing comfort and quality in these boots.

Update!! I stopped at Bass Pro and Cabela's yesterday as I had to go to the airport and I ended up buying a pair of Irish Setter Elk Trackers. I really wanted to get a pair of Crispi boots but didn't want to gamble with not being able to try them on. I am pleasantly surprised with them so far but I only have 2 miles on them so we shall see. I appreciate all the replies on this topic.
