I have always used Danner's in the past with great success. I am considering spending a bit more this time and going with Kenetreck, they are nearly twice that price but many people swear buy them. I have the catalog if you want to look at it. Or you can find them all online, a lot with great reviews.

Here's an option, it's not on sale but only $130. And like I said, also go to the online bargain cave and see what they have.

If you are looking for uninsulated, Danner Pronghorns do have pretty good reviews.
I wore the pronghorns for a few seasons. They are comfortable, but don't last like my Acadias do. You get what you pay for sometimes.

I truly love Danner Pronghorns, very comfortable and waterproof from day 1. But with between 35-45 days of hunting each year they last me one year and one year only before they are walked out/leak. I have a pair of the Meindl Ibex's that have been hell to break in, but now at about 3 years old they are broken in failry well enough to put them to the real test this fall packing meat.
I believe i bought my danner tfx (now gtx) hunters in '03, the first year they came out. On 9 day hunts i probably averaged 3.5 to 4 miles a day over varied terrain. Conservatively thats 283 miles over 9 years on just that hunt. I wore them tho for most of modern deer and elk as well, weather permitting. They failed me this summer while scouting. Probably have at least 600 miles on them. Best part about them was the comfort and I neved had to
break them in. They were ready to go right out of the box and I'm
EE. Beats waiting 3 years for somebody elses boot to get comfy IMO?

What are the best boots you've had in the price range of $140-$200? My Irish Setters are worn out and I want to get some broke in before hunting seasons starts. They've been great. I bought them for $180 4 years ago and they're priced at $209 now so I'm looking at my options. I'd love your opinions!Don't know where your at but Sunbirds sells the Setters cheaper. I think last year I paid 169$ 600thinsulate brown elk hunters.

I agree, I've had pronghorns, danners just about all the top brands and the asolos really have made an impression on me. Although I have heard good things about KenetreksI love my Asolos

Thank you all for your input. I'm breaking in a new pair of Danner Pronghorns today. Sportsmans Warehouse had them on sell for $159 so I figured I'd give them a shot.
Don't want to take the wind out of your sails, But keep the receipt, my buddy got the pronghorns and they leaked after like 2 hunt during western WA modern season.

If you're going to be putting lots of miles on your boots and or carrying a load, buy the best fitting boots that you can find with plenty of medial and lateral support. I'm a flat-footer and have a hell of a time finding a pair that give me enough medial support. I finally picked up a pair of Asolo full leathers in wide that are working great.
Also, foot bed inserts like Superfeet can make all the difference in the world. I usually go for the green inserts for the most support. They feel a little wierd at first b/c the arch support is closer to the heel that other footbeds, but that's where your navicular bone is and where you need the support. Put them in your shoes for a couple of hours here and there to break them and your feet in slowly.

I have a pair of pronghorns also and HATE them! I now wear Georgia boots for work and also have a pair for hunting. $170 is a great price for a good pair of Georgias.

Good thing I kept my receipt! After sidehilling in the mountains for 2days the boot had a crease that put pressure on my ankle and it hurt so bad I couldn't wear them. I borrowed someone's backup pair that was a size too big for me and they were still better than my new Danner Pronghorns. I returned them as soon as I got back and traded for some Keens. I won't be going with those again! Almost ruined my 1 1/2 week hunting trip!
Which Keen's did you get? I'm still not sure on mine...I can't get them as tight as I usually like.

I typically like Danner boots quite a bit, but I have heard from many people to stay away from the Pronghorn's, the new generation ones tend to leak.

LL Bean Cresta Hikers all they need to be great is a good supportive insole. I use the blue insole by SOLE with great results.

I LOVE my Irish Setters!!!! Most comfortable boots I have ever owned, hands down. Will never buy another pair of Danner's again. Had 3 pairs of Ft. Lewis boots fall apart and leak in less than a year.
I have wondered about the Irish Setters. The gore-tex in my RH boot is leaking this where the toe pinches, so I am looking for some new boots.

I have been using mine for 9 years and they are still going strong. I replaced the inserts this year and I bet they last another 9 years. Very comfortable, lightweight and have great ankle support when walking in nasty rocks.

Been reading this thread and I've been looking in the same range. I really want to get a great deal but can't see buying a boot without trying them on. Any recommendations around Everett marysville to try on or buy boots?Work and more in everett off broadway by the stadium, arlington hardware had a few good options as of yesterday. If you want selection drive to coastal in mt. Vernon. They have almost every boot you can imagine.
