(Posting in this forum and Footwear for visibility)
I am considering buying a pair of barefoot/lighter weight boots for a backcountry archery elk hunt this fall. The area I am planning to hunt is very steep, heavily timbered, and rocky. I will likely be covering a lot of ground as the unit will be heavily pressured. I currently hunt use Meindl Comfort Fit Hunters (which I love), but I am thinking that something lighter and quieter will be better over my two week hunt. Boot features that are important to me are:
Ankle Support
Traction (I have heard that Vivos get slippery)
Quiet
Light
Waterproof
Ideally made in USA
I would appreciate any recommendations other have, especially if you hunt in conditions like I described. Thank you in advance!
