Looking at Danner Pronghorn 1000 gr insulated boots. Anyone wear these if so how are they? All input is welcomed.

Well,
I dont own that exact boot. But I do have several pair of Danners. I won't purchase anying else. I have a pair that are a few years old now. I wear them ALOT! Still water proof and very, very, comfy!

One of my hunting partners wears 1000 gram Pronghorns and loves them. Can't go wrong with a pair of Danners.

My buddy has them but not in 1000g I think that they are like only 300g and he does not like them at all.

I've never even *heard* of Danners, but I'm not a name brand junkie myself. I'm a bargain shopper... I have a pair of Meijer insulated boots and they work great.

I do, however, have a pair of Alpha Burly's for early season/warm weather. They won't keep your feet warm, but talk about COMFY!! I had gotten my hubby a pair of them for Christmas a few years back and I wore them once or twice. I liked them, so he got me a pair for my birthday a couple of years ago. You can't beat them!

I just bought the pronghorn non insulated boot. I have never owned danner before, but I know 3 people who have. One owns the pronghorn. After having every boot I bought fail, I decided I needed a good one. I chose Danner. The only problem is thatmy real test won't be until next yearsColorodo elk bow hunt. The man at the store said he also owned the pronghorn and said it was excellent. He did say something that bothered me and I probably don't believe. He said it should last a year.I am not sure what he meant by this, but I bought it anyways.

I don't weat the model that you mentioned, but I use danners pretty much exclusively.

I have the LaCrosse Alpha Burlys with 800 grams and they have kept my feet warm so far. And you are right about comfy!!!

RE: Hunting Boots
 

how much does a pair run??

RE: Hunting Boots
 

I prefer the Browning 2000 gram thinsulate rubber boots. I use to have a probelm with my feet turning to ice cubes while hunting. These boots do a WONDERFUL job!!!! Plus they are only $69.97 which i think is a very good price!

RE: Hunting Boots
 

LaCrosse Alpha Burlys 800 gramswere $99 at Academy Sports which was the cheapest price I could find them for online plus I got to try them on.

As far as rubber boots. I cant stand the thickness of an insulated boot. I have uninsulated lacross and love em. Thats just what I prefer I wear them all hunting season, (except when the get water in them) I used to have some rocky gortex slip on I liked those

RE: Hunting Boots
 

I have a pair of the Pronghorns, but I don't think they're 1000 gram. I thought they were 600 or 800. I left them in NY last trip so I can't look. They're really comfortable. I wear rubber when I'm into more scent control but I wear the Danners when I'm in to more foot enjoyment. I really don't consider them a real cold weather boot. I have another pair for that.

Hey, thanks for the input. My idea would boot would of course be 18" rubber for scent control but cannot get a boot to fit my calves. Tryed all with gusset uppers as the big boy burlys and a pair of redhad at bass pro that was both gusset and zipped to no avail. I wear rubber sole pac boots in the early season but not to comfortable. I have a pair of Rocky Bear Claw 2's with 1000gr thinsulate that have owned for 5 years or so. Great boot, wear for deer, rabbit, and worn on 2 trips to Wyoming on Muley and Pronghorn hunts. I have heard about Danner boots from several people and would welcome the lighter weight over the Bear Claws. Again thanks for the input.

I just recently purchased uninsulated Danner Pronghorns and they are the best boots I have owned. Total comfort, total waterproof and great grip.

I own a pair of the Danners Pronghorn but they are only 800 grams. I have owned Rocky, LaCrosse, and a few other cheaper pairs and Danners are by far the best that I have owned. They are extremely comfortable and durable. As davidmil stated, they are by no means a COLD weather boot though. I will not by another brand of boot based on my experience that I as well as a couple of friends have had with Danner.

My only suggestion is stay away from Rocky. They are basically a one season boot if you are lucky. At least that has been my experience. I don't want to offend the Rocky faithful but spend the extra $40-50 and get a boot that will last you 4,5,or even more seasons.
