    I usually wear my work boots, because they are most comfy. For the hard hiking they stand up better, as for quietness they could be better, i'm not to heavey so the helps. I just bougt a pair of Hi Tech WP hikers for hunting, Will see how they stand up to the test. Welcome to the site.

    I wear Danner Trophy's as my main boot and have Danner Ft. Lewis' as my back up. I actually had Danner resole the Lewis' with the Danner-Bob to match my Trophy's. Love them both.

    Boots

    Well I went over to Red Wing Shoe Store just to have a look and they had a sale on. So I bought a pair of Irish Setter, Tioga, all leather, gortex, thinsulate boots. Just what I was looking for. They were $289.00 -$70.00 Off. They have boots there for $159.00 I think. But limited sizes. Can't wait to get some mud, blood & beer on them. BCKID

    Viberg boots, with Vibram soles, will cost you alot, but they will out last any other pair of boots by a large margine. I own three pairs, two for work, and one for hunting, my work boots are Viberg steel toes, which I have used for 5 years, full time in the bush, logging, fire fighting, etc, ash from forest fires distroyes boots, and I have never had a problem, I will spend 24 hours straight in these boots, and they still feel comfortable. I use to destroy 2-3 sets of 200 dollar boots a year, now one pair for 5 years. If you can deal with the price tag(around 450), you'll never worry again.

    welcome aboard Statler.

    I have tried a few different brands of boots over the years but Rocky seams to preform alot better IMHO , the bearclaws have been a favorite for a few seasons now




    they will burn $200 at most places Ive looked , but ZERO break in time and no blisters I found

    I think what your hunting can also dictate what you wear. For sheep and goat where your in steep terrain and travelling to get there you want a good mountaineering boot stiff sole and as comfortable as you can get for those hunts I use la sportiva evo. I also have scarpa hiking boots and Mendel. But the evos are by far the best for me.

    my son bought a set of rocky boots he wore them for our sheep hunt. They did not stand up at all . by day 13 they were cut up ,rips , and looked like they were 4 or 5 seasons old .sheep hunting is another level but still I would not recommend for serious backcountry hunting.

    Re: Boots

    I've always worn either Meindls or kenetreks for the past 15 years or so and prefer the Meindl. I haven't found one any noisier than another. I find its pretty easy to be quite if you slow down and pay attention to where your foot is going to land and how much of a hurry you are to put it down. I consider myself a quite walker. Have been with guys that pay no mind and it drives me crazy. Pretty well only hunt alone most of the time now.
