Russell Bird Shooters for most of my hunting from the dove fields to the prairies and Muck for those really wet days.

Default New boots

I went on Cabelas web and ran through all the boots looking over all the comments and they run across the board for likes and dislikes. I tackle tested 2 pair of Danner and came away with the uninsulated Pronghorn which someone has given the nod to. Insulated boots in Texas I don't need and quail hunting in Carlsbad NM is what I bought them for. Cabelas is good about taking trying and returning if don't work for you. Good luck.

I must agree with Alton. Kenetrek boots are hard to beat. I tried a lot of boots before settling on Kenetreks. I like that the factory for a little over $100 does Not just resole but basically completely restores the boots. These boots just wear like iron.
Once broke in they are as comfortable as any boot I have worn.

I hike every day and the best boots for comfort and durability are Meindl's sold by Cabelas. I have worn out at least 4 pairs in the last 15 years (and two hips ) . The perfect hikers are a great all around boot. You will not be disappointed.

Bean's Maine hunting boots are hard to beat with the proper inner sole. Have used them for over 50 years and the Browning kangaroo boot is a great dry upland boot as they are super lightweight and comfortable.

My uninsulated Filson Uplanders will still be in new condition when I am gone. Y'all watch the obituaries. I think retail is over $300 now. Woops. $410. I may start wearing them more.

Love my Redwings for the uplands; they just look like hunting boots oughta...



And when it gets a little soggy...

I like my Russell's, I also have used the Bean Hunting boot but you need proper inserts (arch supports) to wear them with comfort.
