Boot recommendation for elk

[beforethehunt]

Looking for a boot recommendation. I like a shorter boot with a fairly flexible sole that is waterproof. I prefer all leather since I can treat it and keep the boot waterproof. Also prefer something fairly lightweight. What do yall recommend?

Meindl or Crispi fit me the best. I lean towards Meindl since they seem to have a wider toe box. My new pair this year are the Meindl Vakuum Hikers.

I have used many many boots and recently tried the Hoffman summits. They are phenomenal boots. Light for all leather (simple construction with minimal stitching and flashy doodads). All around very well made and fitting.

They are slightly less stiff than a typical all leather mtn boot (lowa Tibet as an example). But they are not as flexible as something like a schnees timberline or mission.

Which ever boot fits best out of the box. You need to try a bunch on and see what feels best on your own feet

Crispsi Lapponia or Wyoming are two great choices.
