What is your mountain hunting boot of choice?

[snakelk]

Lowa Hunter GTX Evo Extreme. Primarily used for fall elk hunting in Hell's Canyon. After years of getting by with Irish Setter, Danner, and Rocky boots, I finally took the plunge. I'm glad I did as these have proved to be my favorite boot to date. Although heavier and stiffer, I have no trouble hiking all week in them, they keep my feet warm and dry (multiple creek crossings), and they especially excel on steep rocky side hills. I have a narrower foot, so the Lowa's fit nicely. I've had zero issue with heel rub. I haven't worn Kenetrek Mountain Extremes, but many of my buddies use them and most seem to have issues with heel rubbing. Could be just the individual fit for each, or other factors such as socks, insoles, and/or lacing method. I'm happy with my Lowa's so I'm going to stick with them!

Running a pair of Irish Setter Elk Trackers with 200G of gore Tex. So far so good, used one season. Proven to be waterproof through multiple walks through creeks, and tough enough to climb around a couple mountains. Long lasting comfort, and a decent amount of stability. Love em!

You can play at my house any time.

Schnee's - good boots - good people, in my book.

I've had a pair of Asolo Fugitive GTX's for years that won't die. They were my field and hunt boots. Still going strong. A bit lighter than most backpacking boots. Got a pair of Asolo TPS for heavier loads but could never get the fit right; would either give me terrible foot cramps or hotspots/blisters if loosened. Sold to a friend that is on his second set of soles.

Don't worry, you are still the best boot I have ever worn.

+1 for lowas, really liking the pair I bought for work. Will be buying a second pair this spring.
