Hunting Boots?

[mtmiller]

Wow, I have seen this question a lot lately, but with much different responses. I will give my experiences.

I have had two pair of Rockies and both were terrible, leaked and split seams. I still have a pair of Danners (Canadian). they are alright, but are weak on ankle support and are heavy. I also don't like the sole as they pick up every rock out there. Both of these boots were purchased over 10 years ago, so they may have improved.

That being said, I purchased a pair of Lowa Sheephunters last spring and love them. They have worked well from Kodiak Island rainforest to 9,000' mule deer hunting to August pronghorn hunting.


I have not tried Meindl's, but have nothing but good commments about them. Another I have only heard about are Hanwags. All positive comments as well.
