Boots
 

Hello, right now I use Rocky boots and they seem to work OK but I heard from a few people now that Irish Setters are a lot better. How are these two boots compared and how are Irish Setters compared with other high end boots?

I must have been the unlucky one. I bought a pair of Rocky boots and my feet got wet in less then a month. The store I bought them from did take them back. I also called customer service to let them know and they pretty much just said gee sorry. Didn't ask a single question.

I have had a pair of rockys for 5 years and they still don't leak.They are the best boots I have ever had.

I've got a 7 year old pair of rocky sidewinders, 4 year old bear claws, and bought a pair of the longbeard snake proof boots for turkey/bow season. They're all as comfortable as tennis shoes and tough as nails. I've never tried any of the other brands but why fix it if it ain't broke.

Irish setters are good boots but if you want the best get a pair of Danner Trophys. I got a pair they were 260.00 but they will last me for a long time. My dad had had a pair of Danner Canadians that were 230.00 that has lasted him 12 year and still look new. They are spendy but i think they are worth it.

Why work when you can hunt???? Heck why work at all!!

Boots are kinda like knives and guns- everyone seems to have a favorite. I have had some Rockys that I liked and some that I didn't. I also just got a pair of LaCrosse and they will probably be OK when they get broken in. I have had two pair of Brownings and for me it is the most comfortable boot I have ever had on.
