i'd get them from cabelas. reason being, anything goes wrong or if you just dont like them you can send them back EVEN AFTER A YEAR! i bought some meindl alaksa hunters and hated them because they were so stiff, i was just figuring i'd just where them and deal with it. well after a year and a tip from a buddy i sent them back, they asked no question!! i traded them for the meindl denali, and i didn't like them- to stiff, but these ones are finally getting super comfy, problem is- the sole is starting to come off after this winter i'll send them back, get a new pair. $300.00 boots, i'm getting a good pair of boots one way or another
