Danners are realllllllllllllllllly hard to beat. Except the price.

There are a lot of really good boots out there. The tough part is finding a pair made in the US

Boots made by Meindl have served me well the past 10 years or so.

Danners...I have 4 pairs. Light, snake proof, med weight, cold. They really hold up and fit great.

i've used Danner's in the past. i just replaced my last pair with a pair of Under Armour Speed Freaks, and so far i really like them. i do mostly day hikes and stalking for pigs with them.

Danner pronghorns here. Finally broke down and bought two different insulation weights.

I might consider another boot for heavy-duty rock hunting, but my Danners work for everything else I have tried.

Really depends on the type of terrain and hunting that I'm going to be doing. But for most of my hunts out west I switched from Danners to Asolo hiking boots. They have provided me with great ankle support, very comfortable right out of the box, waterproof...they really are!, and they wear really well. I have used the current pair for 4 yrs and they are going strong. If I just walked through grasslands and light terrain I'd still have the Danner Pronghorns. But I hunt in the mountains and need more boot. The other models that Danner makes just don't fit my foot right.
It all comes down to personal preference and how a boot fits your foot.

How hard are you to fit? I have "Fred Flintstone" feet - real wide with a narrow heel. I started wearing White's Boots out of Spokane, Washington. They are costly and heavy, but are custom-made to your feet. They are the BEST investment I have ever made for my feet.

Someone stole your boots ! I'm sorry... that's just unbelievable. "[dntthnk]"

Ditto on the White's. I have a pair of Smoke Jumper boots that they made for me 37 years ago and am still wearing them after having them rebuilt about 4 years ago. I had another pair made at that time so I wouldn't be without during the rebuild.

For warm weather I would recommend Russels.

Ive tried danner elk hunters, asolo,and several other "lesser brands". Only pair ive had that I would recomend to a friend would be russel moccisons.But they are alot of money for a pair of boots.

i cant believe someone stole your boots. lots of bad apples out there.

ive been totally pleased with my Hanwags. first read about em in Eastmans, and they have been a great investment. unbelievably comfortable and everything they advertised. google lathrop and sons.

Same here only Wesco Boots. They will be the last pair of boots you will ever have to buy if you take care of them.

You might consider Oakley boots. I've got a pair of the warm weather boots and like them so far, light, comfortable and made in the USA.

actually the stolen boots were just the tip of the iceberg, the 4 campers at out lease were broken into, the only things stolen were my boots and a buddys back pack with some gear and all our food and drinks,
we later found the remants of the food where they had went into a dry creak bed about 400 yards from our camp and had a feast.
we can only assume it was ileagles traveling the river.
kinda lucky that they didnt take anything else one guy had his bows in his camper, one other had a rifle and his hunting knives in plain sight.and thousands of dollars worth of hunting gear between all of us,
Im still counting my blessings

If I can spell it right, Miendel's, for me....

50° on up a pair of Merril Sight light hikers (good stalking shoes).

30° to 50° a pair of Vasque hiking boots w/200 gr Thinsulate.

Below 30° or in snow a pair of 400 gr Irish Setters (Gunflint?) if moving or Sorel Crusaiders if sitting.
