Sheep boots.

I went through a pair of Vasque boots this summer.
In late october, I started wearing a pair of Danner boots with leather uppers.

Here is the problem.
That stinking sheep country is full of rocks that are like knives.

After only a few trips up the mountain, they look like they have been run over a cheese grater.



Hunting deer or elk, I can get a pair of boots to last a couple seasons.
The soles wear out long before the body of the boot.

But this sheep country is some kind of different evil.

So, what you got for that?

I have had the cordura upper boots in the past, but never in this type of terrain.

I just bought a pair of Salewa mountaineering boots, but they are expensive.
Don't know that they will hold up any better against the razor rock.

Anybody got any bulletproof boots?

Take a look at Lowa Tibets. I've used mine on several Alaska and Colo sheep and goat hunts with great results.

I'll second the Lowa Tibets. Awesome boots! be careful when ordering, atleast for me the sizing was screwy.

Boots with a taller rubber rand are better suited for sheep country. That way the leather doesn't get cut to ribbons.

I've been using the Meindl Alaska hunter. I'm on my 3rd pair and they work well for me. Some like them, some don't.

Lowa, Kennetrek, Crispi and others all make great boots but the key, for me, is the higher rand to keep the rocks away from the leather.
