Default RE: What should I get for a new pair of boots?

I' ve used Rocky boots for the last 8 years now and have had no problems with them. The biggest problem I' ve seen is there is no single boot that is suited for every situation. I have a pair of uninsulated snake boots for turkey and early bow season. I have a pair that has 400 grams of insulation for late bow/early rifle and another pair with 800 grams of insulation for cold weather. My advice would be to try on just about every pair of boots that you can find and buy the ones that fit you best.

I have Rocky Bear Claw with 1000 gr of thinsulate, Irish Setter with 800 Grams of Thinsulate & Saloman hiker style with 200 grams of thinsulate, all three have gortex booties in them, so dry feet is accomplished with either. For my area and season their isn' t a one boot for all, that may not be true for your area. The rocky' s offer the most rigid support, but come at price of being the heaviest boot i wear. I really like the Irish Setters, they are light, warm, dry, good traction and offer enough support for me.

I have worn many kinds of boots over the years, some were better than others for sure but I would suggest Rocky, Danner or Irish Setter as a starting point, these three offer many choices.

I really like Danner boots. They have a lot of different boots for different conditions. They are a little spendy but they have an outstanding warranty, and unlike some companies, they will back their product.

First thing I always look at is weight. No sense trudging through the woods with 7lb space boots. My advice is to go to a boot/shoe store that carrys some of the top brands ,(rocky etc.) and try some on. What works good for me may not suit you at all.

I' m going to buy a pair of Lacrosse Alpha Burly' s or Burly' s. I' ve heard nothing but good about their boots. And I' m in the market for a new pair for the upcoming season.

ROCKY BUCKSTALKERS-- all the way baby

good -- rubber, knee high, warm, water proof, good tread, easy to climb in

bad-- a little heavy for all day hikes, considering job could be a little expensive

It depends on your hunting conditions .Most boots work fine in the woods but getting the right pair of boots is very important for mountain or backpack hunting.I use meindls as they have the added support necessary for mountain hunting or backpacking.
