There are many great boots available today and the two I would recommend are as follows:

Schnee's Sheep Hunter GTX by LOWA and the, Schnee's 13 Inch Hunter II

These boots are some of the best in the market and I cannot recommend them enough!

I used a pair of Irish Setter 1000 grams Thinsulate Goretex boots this year Elk hunting putting 8-10 miles of tough walking up and down the mountain ridges and draws. They give my feet very good support with a good pair of socks and the cushioning. They have good support and oiled leather that takes the rough walking well.
I did look at those Danner boots people have mentioned several times hear. They look like their well built. Maybe those will be a good next pair.

I picked up a gortex pair called Rocky in 800 grams last week for just over $70 and they are awesome. Keep my feet incredibly warm and dry. Very comfortable as well, my only complaint is the traction is a bit slippery. Maybe they just need broken in?

I've had boots from various mfg's...some good some bad and maybe boots are like cars, you sometimes get a lemon and the next guy gets the same exact model and raves about them!! Who know? This fall, I bought a pair of Meindel Perfekt Hunters from Cabelas and thus far have been impressed. The leather did squeek a bit at first but once I broke them in that went away. They are extremely comfortable, keep your feet dry, and I was really impressed with how I could walk slopes that I fell all over on the day before with another boot on. I was in NW Montana hiking some snow covered hillsides and the traction was awesome. The only thing is my feet sweat alot andwouldn't use them in early season.

I've heard that Schnee's Pac boots are very good but have yet to own a pair. Plan on trying a pair when the need arises next time around...

Depends if I'm hunting in sept. or nov.? I'm not going to be wearing the same footwear in bowseason during the 3 diget weather as opposed to below zero during the rut in nov. I guess I'm as bad as a women cause I got footwear for all occasions.
