Hey guys, i figured I would ask the pros!
last summer after getting strung along by AJ BROOKS for 3/4 of a year saying my boots are 2 weeks out I decided to get my money back and buy something else before hunting season comes and I have no boots.
I went with meindl Denali from Cabela’s. Felt great in the store hugged my feet nicely. After my first hike my feet were KILLING ME. The soles feel like cement. I upgraded the insoles to meindl perfekt foot bed. And am still having problems with sore feet. I even had to take these boots off 4 days into my hunt this year and wear my old elk trackers. I keep trying to “break” these boots in and tough through it. But I have finally given up and come to accept I’m at a loss with these boots and need new ones.
I’m now looking at meindl islanders, and a couple different scarpa and lowa boots.
im shying away from super stiff soles because maybe my feet just don’t work with them.
Anyone rocking the meindl islanders? Anyone with similar problems with boots?
and suggestions / recommendations will be very helpful!!
thanks guys.
(Looking for a sturdy boot but not overkill)
