Either I am not as critical on boots or I just have had good luck with the Danner Pronghorn line but I love both pairs that I have.
I have the Pronghorn that I hunt in and keep them rubbed down with mink oil all the time. They aren't 100% waterproof but they do well and I have had no blowouts on my current pair and I am going on 3 years. My previous pair of Pronghorn's lasted about 2 years before blowing out but I didn't put a drop of oil on them.
I have a pair of Danner GTX, basically the military version of the Pronghorn, that I wear every day for work that I love as well.
These boots just seems to fit and support my feet really well and I have no complaints with them.
?Here?s to the hero's that Git-R-Done!!?
