I plowed through boots for years, rarely getting a 3rd season out of any hiking or hunting boot. danners, scarpa, meindl don't last and LEAK LEAK LEAK! Do yourself a favor and try some kenetrek mountain extremes and have comfort and dry feet for many many years.
Picked up a pair of these at the end of November and wore them all through the winter coyote calling and trapping and they are amazingly comfortable and dry. My only problem is I bought the 400 gram ones and they are abit warm to do a lot of moving in for me. Great for sitting on a calling stand but will be to warm for me to hunt them in the fall so I will be picking up a pair of the non insulated for hunting season. Or I may try a pair of the hardscrabble hikers
Edited to add the mountain extremes toe grip area felt little weird when I first start walking in them but when you start to climb they are awesome.
