Default Need a new pair of boots

I need to buy a new pair of boots before the season starts. Anyone have an opinion good/bad on Danner? Irish Setter?

Whats the best pair of upland boots you've had?

Depending on the terrain you will be hunting You might consider Russell Bird Shooters. They are great for the uplands but not so good in the marshes.

I have always used Rocky's Cornstalkers. They last me about four years before the waterproof membrane begins to break down but they're great in mostly dry terrain for several years longer.

I have had a few pair of the Irish Setter/Red Wing and like the USA made ones. The Chinese ones not so much. I have had good luck with Filsons but they are getting pricey. I usually wear a leather boot, a Bean boot or a rubber wellie type boot depending where I hunt.

I have used bean hunting boots for 56 years ad they are still my favorites but you need to put orthotic insoles in them and specify the hunting boot.

Have multiple pairs of Bean Hunting Shoes and a pair of custom built Russels but the most comfortable hunting boots I have ever worn are uninsulated Danner Pronghorns. Light as can be, plenty of support, solid traction and just plain comfortable.
