Elk Trackers by RedWing
Not cheap but worth every penny

[Mojostick]

I have Red Wing, Irish Setter (made by Red Wing) and Danner leather boots. While pricey, all are top quailty names.

That sounds like a good boot.I remember seeing pics of older redwing leather hunting boots but i cant find anything these days.

Zamberlan.
Handmade Italian boots. The Norwegian welted line is rebuildable, and comfortable right out of the box.
They have been highly ranked in every backpacking/mountaineering survey for years for a reason.

Downside? The wallet is going to scream a bit.

Love my Danner Acadias.  I wear them day in and day out at work, get 5 years out of them, then they retire to my hunting boots for another 5.  Quickest broke in boots I have ever worn.

Check out Crispi, I have owned almost every high end boot there is and these are far and away better.

Irish Setter Wingshooter for non mountain terrain. For hills, Irish Setter Elk Trackers... I don't think they can be beat, but certainly can't for the money!

I have some made in America Danner's that I like,and I also just where my Red Wing work boots in the woods. The Red Wings are just regular work boot lace ups,but they are very comfortable.

I hear lowa's are nice although I just ordered a pair of under armor speed-freaks to try this year.

Danner gets my vote.

I have owned a ton of good boots as of late I am really liking Irish Setters, they are great right out of the box, no break in required. I treat all my boots with Bear grease and beeswax a combo made by Foggy Mountain, great stuff!! Shawn

Limmer boots are the best I've found so far.Custom made to your feet. 18 mo wait though. Pete does have some ready mades in the shop.

I have had Irish Setter boots for many years. They are good footwear. Fortunately, GI military boots work very well for me and I have used these more than any other boot. In recent years, my question has always been, "What is the best snake boots out there"?

Danner or Meindl made in Germany. Very good boots but not cheap.
