I bought the original Browning Kangaroo lightweight leather tracking boots years ago. Light as a feather and very comfortable but not what you want for rocky or coarse gravel terrain. As the name implies, they are made for dry-land stalking and tracking of game. Six-inch uppers and a sturdy crepe (not Vibram) sole. The more rugged the terrain, the more you feel it through the soles. Today I believe there are sturdier versions with Vibram soles more suitable for increasingly gnarly landscapes. If you are going wild Chukar or sheep hunting, I would recommend heavy-duty (not heavy weight) hiking or light technical climbing boots like Vasque or Danner.
