but what was a man to do?
umm....ahh

...never mind...

!
I like Danners I pretty muchneed insulated boots for most ofmy hunting needs and 10" high is preferred. I hate rubber boots, so my choice has been leather upper, gortex bootie and rubber soles with good grip"Canadians by Danner". For a cheaper pair no doubt made in asia the Redwing Irish Setter BG II's have been adarngoodboot, mine now are done but after 6 years of extreme use I won't complain as they only set me back 100 bucks.
I dohave a pair ofSalomon uninsulated hikers when the weather allows. Gortex bootieand fairly light, have worked for 5 years.
