Boot terminology “Guide”

[ScottSN]

I am fairly a newbie to quality hunting equipment. I have noticed most boot makers have styles classified as”Guide” in their name. Other gear like clothing, etc, also use that terminology. What does “Guide” refer to, if anything?

I think it implies that a guide would buy it. Would perform and hold up over time and various conditions. But I wouldn’t put too much thought in a product name for example my boots are called “saguaro” but they aren’t necessarily made for a cactus desert environment, they’re really a general purpose boot.

Good advice. Thanks much.

In my opinion in most cases its just marketing.
