Ive wore quite a few over the years and I ALWAYS have a hard time with boots, until I went to a Danner Pronghorn. My only fault is after two years of solid hard use mine started to leak. This fall I will replace them with another pair though.

I've wore a lot of Danners including Pronghorns. I got a pair of Meindl "Perfekt" hikers last year before bow season. After a week of long hikes in them I was convinced they were a little better boot than I had ever owned before. Then I wore my trusty Pronghorns again one day on a hunt. After getting used to the Meindl's and then going back to my other boots, there was a "BIG" difference. I plan to get a set of the taller "Perfekt" Hunters also. Meindl is also making some cheaper type boots that I didn't like as well when I tried them on. But the "Perfekt" hikers are the best boots I have worn. Good luck.

i myself like the georgia boot insulated loggers. they are waterproof and have the big hill and lugs to hold to the steep mountains and always throw some snow seal on them during hunting season just in case.

Danner Pronghorns, but they are not nearly as waterproof as they should be. Danner's are durable and comfortable, but they leak.

I had Irish Setters that were waterproof, but they were not durable.

I have had Rockies that were tough and waterproof, but they were heavy and uncomfortable.

The worst pair of boots I owned were Silves brand. They were light and comfortable and fell apart half way through the season.
