The Ultimate Hunter is the most comfortable I've ever worn. Props to Meindl for that.

I really don't like a boot as heavy and stiff as the Kennetrec, which does come in a wide. I may have to go that route.

What I would really like is a lighter grade boot that was mostly nylon, like the Asolo Flame. In the Asolo Fugutive, the wide width was not wide enough. It had a terrible bite below little toe. I would also like them a couple inches higher than a backpacker boot.

Is there such a boot? I'm tempted to buy Keenes and just wear them out every year.
