Boot Question

Post by vern3 » Mon Jun 29, 2009 4:43 pm

I am looking for a good pair of upland boots, would prefer uninsulated but would consider a pair with only a couple hundred grams of insulation. MY problem is I need them in 4E . Not having much luck. Anybody know a good quality brand that makes them that wide? Thanks in advance. Vernon

SGC - I was actually thinking of getting a pair of their Bozeman upland boots. Have you tried 'em yourself by chance?

I have horrible feet and ankles. I like the Irish setter Elk tracker with 200 grams, (I got mine at Gander Mountain). really like them. Another, I heard makes great boots custom to you is Russel. I don't have there web site. But they make a mould and fit you.

I do not like the LLBean boots and certainly not the Kangaroo boots. They don't help you jump any better and shrink after wet. But many do like LLbean??

vern3, Have you ever tried Muck boots. I personally will never be without a pair of those. I use the black chore boots that they put out. Just a suggestion.

4E?

Do you have feet, or hooves? :)

I have a couple pair of Russell boots that I had custom made for my feet. They have a form that you can print off the internet so that you can measure your foot or they can send you a catalog with the form in it. They are a bit pricey but worth it.

I have always had problems with my feet. Getting boot that fit me, and that I can walk in all day is a problem. Last season I bought a pair of uninsulated Danner Pronghorns. They have fit well and are comfortable all day. They were so comfortable right out of the box, I didn't have to break them in.

I have feet problems too, and I love my Ecco boots.

Russel Moccassin ... I'm on my second set of replacement soles, I wear them so often. Invest in two pair and rotate. You will never go back to store-bought boots.

I like the Danner Sharptail Covey zipbacks. They feel great right out of the box as well.

They are not 'hunting' boots, but I have worn out one pair of the Columbia Hiking boots over the past 6 seasons and bought two more pair. Lightweight, waterproof and enough insulation for early season.

For bird hunting I really like the Browning Upland boot, light and durable and all quality boots are now waterproof.
