I bought a pair of Filson Highlanders (insulated) years ago and they are the best boots I have ever owned. They give great ankle support and the leather on the inside is buttery soft. The insulation is not very thick and adds to the comfort. Takes a while to break in though.

Danner Pronghorns ,8" ,400 Grams of Insulate ,I buy two pair at a time from Cabelas ,One pair always got walked heavily behind three Bird dogs and the other I wear in my Tree stand hunting Deer and Bear etc. ! Then after a couple of years the tree stand boots turn in to my Walking Boots the wore out boot to the trash etc.etc etc. ! Very affordable for the quality of boot in my opinion also Very Comfortable ,light weight and waterproof to a point as long as the water isn't over the top you are okay for the first year but then they seem to start to break down if you use them heavily !

To tell you how much I like my Russell boots, I ordered work shoes and casual shoes from them as well. I am wearing Russell shoes now. They are a great company. Filson is great too and I have thought about ordering a second pair of boots from them.

I wish somebody made a decent rubberized type knee boot in the US these days. I broke down and bought a pair of Muck Boots a few years ago out of desperation. It was literally a physical pain to pay that much for something made in China.

Default new boots

I bought a pair of Russel Mountain boots two years ago. They are rugged and there new bobbed soul has amazing traction. They fit well and are comfortable right out of box. They eliminated shin and foot problems that I was having.
Russel advertises, and they will tell you that the treated three vamp construction is water proof. It is not. I use gortex socks when I know it will be sloppy. I'll probably buy another pair in a year or two.

My Russells are not waterproof either and they don't advertise as being snake proof. I have some old snake boots I use in snakey conditions. Water usually means duck hunting for me and then I have waders.

Same as the Muck Boots, I hate the idea of my China made chest waders. I've been tempted to order a pair of these, they're not cheap but they have a good guarantee:

Of course the actual boot foot itself is made overseas, because nobody makes anything like that here anymore.

When you have a 13A foot like mine, nothing fits unless you get custom boots from Russell. I now have their Birdshooter, their 3 eyelet Oxford, and casual loafers

John D,

Have you tried Allen Edmonds for dress shoes? They still make a narrow as well I'm pretty sure.

Irish Setter Wing shooters and LL Bean Maine hunting shoe for over 60 years. Tried others but always come back to these two. Setters last forever and Beans will replace worn out tops or bottoms.
