i need good hiking boots

[luvtohnt]

Depending on your shoe size there is a pair of Meindel's in the bargain cave at Cabelas. If you can make the trip over there they are only $136. If I remember corectly they are 11 1/2 D.

Cabelas had good deals in the bargain cave online a couple weeks ago for boots in size 14. I don't know what they still have available. I got a pair of Cablela's Outfitter series that regularly sells for $150 for $36.99.

For $200, I would stay away from Merrell's. They are great if you are on a budget, but they aren't the most supportive of boots out there.

Personally, I really like the fit of Asolo boots. I have owned the TPS 520's and currently wear the Fugitives, both have held up great. Took some time to break in, but that is typical. They run a little narrow in the heel and are average in the toe box.

Another boot that I'm a little interested in, and it is nowhere near looking like a "hunting" boot, is from Salomon. They make amazing trail shoes, and started making some new hiking boots that are very lightweight and fit very comfortably. They do tend to be slightly on the narrow side, especially if you are comparing to Merrell.

Summer time hiking I'd go with Danner..... 

[Dirty Mike]

ive owned 3 pairs of danners and the all leaked within a month so i dont buy them anymore

[jackelope]

you can do a lot with $200.00
look at cabelas as was already said, also look at sierra trading post.com

my bud wears some asolo backpack boots that he got for around $130.00 off of sierra trading post and he loves them.

Also the stitching started coming out in a couple of months on mine.
I wish that I had known that Cabela's had size 14 in their bargain cave, I would have checked them out.  Sounds like a trip into town for me tomorrow!

 :)funny, I been wearing Danners for 30 years never had one pair leak or fail in any manner. I throw them away old no color no tread. I have never had a Redwing last more than about 6 months. Wesco are great boots. Georgias last about a month.

I have had good luck with Danner so far, but my next hunting boot will be  a Kennetrek.

I also have a pair of hiking boots - Raichle goretex full wrap that have been good - way more ankle stability than a danner.  But they are only 6 inch boots and need to be 8 inch or 10 inch for what i have used them for.  I always end up getting wet from the top side.

I have had my Redwings for over a year now and still love them. They are the 660 Rdwings and I love them.

Lat only 6 months, what, the best boot out there. Around $200 and a great boot. Coak them with Obenhaufs and they will last everyday use for about 2 to 3 years if cared for.

I have mine now for a year, where just about everyday and still like brand new.

REI Reichle Gortex!  I've had two pairs.  They are my favorite HIKING/Hunting boots.  They are made for hiking (unlike a lot of Danners and Georgia's).  I hike in the summer in them, I hunt all fall in them, and I even wore them on a 90 mile hike to Mt. Everest's Base Camp.  I Love them!

I have Kenetreks.Go to REI or Cabellas you can try them on and still take them back for some credit and try something else if the first ones dont work out

[jackelope]

Kenetreks at REI??

REI garage sale is also a good time to snag some cheap gear.

Got a pair of zamberleins for around $100. Brand new, someone must of just returned them just prior to the garage sale
