Effect
Try out the Danner pronghorn boots, I used mine on my Antelope and muley hunt down in an area similer to Arizona in southern Alberta. Plains area and hilly full of ravines. They reacted well to all the miles I put in and at days end were dry as could be. Walked through a lot of water that week and they never developed leaks so the Gortex did it's job and the price is reasonable to. The grip is great and what a person needs for the climbing terrain and all the shale that I encountered. Give them a try.
