Hi All
The old man is lookin to get me a pair of good boots. I know rocky mountain boots are pretty decent but are they fully waterproof and good for snow?
I need somthing warm and 100% waterproof. What do you use or what would you buy?
thanks

Schnees Hunter.I love the removable liner.

I love it when the seasons change.
Fishing to Hunting.
It depends on what kind of hunting you do. If you're in the swamp, then those Schness would do. If you're into the mountain and hill, then you better look at something that gives good ankle support and a good foot bed so you're not slipping inside the boot and cramming your toes into the toe of the boot. In the latter case, something with a gortex liner and thinsulate would be good and if you are really into spending, then Miendl, Sportiva, or Something along that line. The better the boot, the better the payback because they will last you longer providing that you look after them. Did I mention Danners. Skip Made in PRC, no quality there.

I have a pair of Rocky's and mine are shit. They leak like sieve. My socks are more waterproof. I have tried several types of waterproofing that have worked well for me in the past (nikwax, snowseal), but nothing can seal up these pieces of crap. They are comfortable though - before they fill with water that is.
I am saving up for a pair of Meindl's.

Meindls are by far the best, but there are a lot of other great brands out there too. My advice is go to a good outdoor store (MEC, etc) and buy a good mountaineering boot. Plus they really know how to fit your foot and give you what you are looking for. Absolute NO to rockys, Danners, and many other "Hunting" boots.

Same boots I use right now absolutely waterproof and comfy ! Make sure whatever boots you get are comfortable right from the store .... No break-in period! Best boots I ever had were a pair of prospectors but I wasnt the best at taking care or leather so I tried a less expensive boot , on my second year with these !
Sorry i dont mean to bash these boots because im sure they worked for you but............mine are falling apart after 1 year. I can walk for days in them but my feet are soaked to the bone. The stiching in the toe caps are coming out and the leak. I just found this thread because i was going to ask what i should buy next because these are going to be rideing boots only now.
Meindl. I had Rocky's, Wolverines, Danners, and they all sucked. I have Meindls now and I am deliriously happy with them. No blisters, waterproof, and they feel like pillows.
Now I just have to get a second job to pay em off!
