[Camo on boots is completely unnecessary.  If the color of your boots is blowing your stalk you're doing something wrong, anyway.  Plus, you can use them for something other than hunting.]

Like Halflife65 mentioned, everyones feet are different. I could never buy a pair of boot off the internet without first trying them on in person somewhere. Until just recently I could not wear Merrels. They just did not fit my feet well. I just bought a pair of Merrel Refuge Core Mid Ventilator Waterproof hiking boots for everyday use, and these fit my feet incredibly.

For years Merrel sizing just did not fit my feet. And they make very good boots.
If you have not done it yet go to some place like REI (others do this as well) and have a knowledgeable salesperson fit your feet. It really makes a world of difference when you can narrow the field down to what your specific feet like and do not like.
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

 :)  No worries.  That reply probably sounded a little harsher than I intended it to be.

I just got my Awesome Lowa boots that I bought on EBay for 149.00. They're a bit tight. Does these loosen up after they've broken in?
