Meindls, only available from Cabelas in the US.  They're incredible boots from Germany, I have the Alpine hunters.   These are more comfortable and and better suited for mountain hunting than the Danner boots I have used in the past.

Hunting and Fishing are not matters of life or death... THEY ARE WAY MORE IMPORTANT!!!

Meindls! My 1st year using them but they are much better than the Danners. However they are not going to be as light as a Danner. Very sturdy boot, comfortable and can handle all types of terrain with lots of ankle support. They are expensive!

Using the same 600 gram Danner Trophys since 04 on Sept-Nov high mountain hunts.  Would be a good November boot.  Boot I really like is the old Italian Fabiano Alps boot, for non insulated.  SmartWool socks.  My experience.  Hear a lot of people talking Mendle, and the Mendle could be a bit more water resistant w/o the stitchdown sole?  Have 6 pairs of Goretex Danners and eventually they all weeped moisture.

Danners for me

If you hike a lot, don't buy Danner's in my opinion. In one year I walked out two pairs of Pronghorns. Both pairs leaked, and I broke the sole in one pair. I put Danner boot grease on after every time out, and they still leaked after a while. They are super light and comfy, but its hard to be comfortable when your feet are wet. I hike a *censored*load, weekly besides June and July, so these results aren't common I bet. I switched to Meindl Hunter and Perfekt Hikers, couldn't be happier. You can weather one hell of a storm in them, and comfortable as can be. Heavy kind of, but you get used to them.
