These Merrell's is what I was thinking and they are definitely more in my price range.

Funny you should ask. Breaking a new pair in as I BBQ 😄.
What brand/model is that boot? Those look nice!

I was thinking leather. My buddy recommends the danner pronghorn, but I don't like boots that big. I usually just wear romeo's but they suck in steep terrain and in cold weather.

The pronghorns aren't bad boots, got a pair myself. Good boots are pricey brother, Kennetrek, Zamberkans, etc. but you'll hunt in them for a very long time.

Danner Pronghorns are great if you're hunting pronghorn on the flat prairie where it doesn't rain.
I wouldn't bother wasting money on them based on reviews on here.

My Dad has a set of those moon boots, I borrowed them on several occasions to go steelhead fishing when I was younger, Wish you could still find them... Be nice in a stand...Funny you should ask. Breaking a new pair in as I BBQ 😄.

I bought a pair and hunted them maybe 30 days.
Last year, I noticed my feet were wet after walking through a wetland.
I took them to the Danner store where they immediately showed me the soles cracked across the arches.
Both of them.
Turns out, it's pretty common....Took them no time to show me.
My Made-in-USA replacements from Danner are not a good fit...Completely different from their offshore boots.
I bought a pair of Vasque hikers on Amazon last year.
Nice boots.
I prefer taller boots for hunting but the Vasques are nice.

it was a hard choice for me between them and the danners.. the pronghorn feels like heaven on my feet as did the east ridge.. the highground hurt just putting them on. I got a good deal on the Keens so i bought them and do not regret it..
if you hunt on the west side a lot your feet are gonna get wet no matter what you wear...

Danner Rivot tfx gtx. Most comfortable boot I've ever worn. Plus this is one of the few Danner models still made in the USA. Much better quality then their boots made in China.
Bingo- hunting partner turned me on to military boots, starting to wear my 2nd set around the house now so they will be ready for september. Hundreds of miles on my first pair and they are still going strong, 2nd set is just for back-ups...

I bought a pair of keen Ketchum and have probably 100 miles on them walking through sloped forest ground.. they have been great and my feet feel massaged all day.. how well they will do in steep rocky terrain may be a different story.. The only thing I do not like about them is that some of the outside detailing on the side near the sole is made of a soft foam material and it gets ripped up in the brush so far it's been cosmetic..Keen sandals and boots are the most comfortable things I've had on my feet for years! The only problem I had with my keen boots was the lacing loops were all made of fabric and they got torn up from some of the rocky areas I frequent. Returned them and won't buy another pair of their boots until they change that design.
