Title: Zamberlan Boots
Post by: Whitelightning on October 04, 2010, 07:38:54 PM: I just bought a pair because I could not find any Irish Setter Elk Trackers 200gram or non insulated any place. I was told RedWing/Irish Setter has had manufacturing issues and all the boots are late getting to stores.

Any way I found these Zamberlan boots on sale they are model 2010 Wild Seeker. Has anyone had Zamberlan and can give some feed back on these? hope I didn't through my money away.

It took a lot of miles for break in but once broken in they fit like gloves for years. I plan on getting another pair soon. You won't be disappointed.

(also the most expensive) but after two years of hard use they are in as good of shape as I bought them. I don't think you'll regret your purchase.

Down fall for me is the sole is hard and not real great for stalking during early archery. If the ones you ordered don't work out for you Sportco has a crap load of the elk trackers, just picked up a pair of the 200g for my son on sale for $139. But I think the Zamb's will work out just fine!

Wow, I didnt think of sportco, every place I tried to get them told me they were still waiting on the orders they placed months ago. Hope your kid likes the Elk Trackers they should be awsome boots.

Post by: Whitelightning on October 06, 2010, 05:46:11 PM: Well they were here waiting when I got home :) must say on first inspection they are well built have good quality leather and feel real good on the foot. The only thing I don't like so far is one boot the leather on top oil cans when I walk and makes a popping noise. I think this will go away with time. I will be calling the place I got them from to get their input also. Thanks guy's for all the help I appreciate it.

The ankle support was good and the sole works well in steep terrain. I will certainly buy another pair when these wear out. Great boot IMO.
