LAST EDITED ON Oct-08-07 AT 09:34AM (MST)[p]danners suck!
go with:
Meindle, or lowa or maybe kenetrek, but I've only heard of kenetrek, they look good, but I've never owned them.
I've owned the meindles (perfect hunter, canadian, and the alakan) and the lowa sheep hunter, Love them all but for different purposes. I also owned danners and never will own then again.
If youre hunting mountains and rolling hills the perfect hunter, for the money is very hard to beat - they take no break-in time either and they just are comfortable.
If youre in to high mountain rough terrain like mountaineering and sheep hunting, mule deer or goats in alpine cliffs, the alaskan and the lowa sheep hunter are the way to go . . . .
Like I said, I have them all but the kenetrek, and love my meindls and everyone that wears the lowa swears by them, I have a pair of the sheep hunters but have not worn them much. . .
Boots are as important to me as the right cameras and lenses, so I buy the best. I wear out a pair of boots a year so if I have three or four, one for each terrain type, overall they last much much longer. It's like buying snow tires and only using them in the winter, overall you get more miles out of them and they last longer!
