Ran the Saloman quest 4d GTX, like everyone says: they leak. While I ran gaiters and kept up on sock care it wasn't horrible, and honestly I found they were pretty comfortable. I didn't have blisters hot spots or cold feet and they gave me decent support. The issue arose when I had a gaiter fail and come apart, they were heavilly used and I should have replaced them before hand but that's besides the point. Suddenly the boots were sponges, and I hunted the next 5 days with soaked feet and also melted the boots a little next to a fire I was using to dry out. I wear cowboy boots every day outside of hunting so I'm worried about going with too stuff of boots but do want something a touch stiffer. Especially since I think I'll be pulling a goat tag in the next few years.
Was thinking maybe Lowa? I know it really comes down to individual comfort but looking for guys input that may have made the jump up from the 4d. I don't have anywhere close with Lowas to try, tried on a kennetreck but worried they were too stuff to jump to right away.
Idk maybe I'm just being a pansy and should get a super stiff boot.
