Boot question

[deerslyr]

I need some help finding a good WATERPROOF boot that will last a while. Im tired of buying a pair of boots and having them leak a year later. Im going to be using them this year during late mule deer season where theres going to be a good amount of snow and I dont want a boot that leaks. I dont want an extremely insulated boot either because I will most likely use them earlier in the fall also. any suggestions? Also does anybody know where I can get some pull over snow camo at?

I have yet to see a pair of meindl's that leak.......but they don't give them away.

I would say Danners, but I would wait till they bring the production back from over sea's.  Someone said in another post that they were going to bring all production back to oregon "Soon".  Anyone remember when it was that they were bringing them back?  I am holding out myself till that day.

Meindl perfekts no leaks and a absolute awesome book with very little break in time. Was out all day yesterday in the rain and no leak what so ever and even walked through a small stream and still had dry feet..

What model of danners shootmore? I need to look into the Meindl

Two pairs of Meindls. Can sometimes  find on sale at Cabelas. Check in the store after hunting season. I think I paid around $150 for them.
Nice boot for the money. I put the green super feet beds in mine. Can wear all day and no foot problems. I use a good quality water proofing agent on mine

Do you guys think 400 grams of insulation is too little for late season up north? I like the looks and sounds of the prefekts but im not sure if they will hold up to okanogan county in late november

danners leak all the time.

what's your price range.

I have Meindl perfekt hunters and I was standing in a creek last weekend with them letting the kid use my boots as stepping stones and they didn't leak.

I do not think you would have a problem. They are very well made and great for hard country. I use mine summer and winter just adjust with my socks and they perform great. I had them in 12" of snow last year and had no problem and they are the 400 grams.

I really dont wanna spend much more than $200 but considering that I need a pair this season I cant shop around too much lookin for a sale

Just bought a pair of zamberlan Wild. I wore them all weekend in the rain, through grass and mud, they never leaked a drop!! They are comfortable and break in time was not painful. $199 at Baker boots.

Nobody but you can answer that. 400 grams would be plenty for me,but I also wear shorts and flip flops year round.

ive always worn danners but this year finally broke down and spent the money on the kenetrek mtn exteme 400s... they are awsome and so far so good no leaks at all even crossing small creeks. I wore them even in the early season with a lighter sock. great boots imo but i have also heard lots of good things about meindls from a bunch of guys

I have a pair of arcadia's and Pronghorns, I like both and have not had a leaking problem with either.  However they are both US built.  Not sure if those two models are still made down in Oregon.  In fact I should call down there tomorrow and find out, I need a new pair of arcadia's.

I have a pair of Danner's.  They were great the first year (10 day elk hunt in the rain)  The last three years they have leaked.  This year I might as well just fill them up before I go out.  Tonight I just wore my old Extra Tuffs and have dry feet.  I'm looking for new boots too.  60-80 days from a pair of boots is pathetic.  I have an old pair of Red Wings that I had for 30 years and 3 sole replacements.  Now that's a quality boot.  You get what you pay for.  Now days it is $250-300 at least.
