Not those but I bought these for last year's bird and deer season. Love them.

If some of you guys are suffering foot pain I highly recommend you drop $40 bucks or so on some of these quasi-fitted insoles that they sell everywhere now. There are a few different makes but they all seem to work well. Stand on the thing, buy the appropriate color. I'm sure you've seen the displays.

Runners pay close attention to pronation for good reason. It's never been so easy to adjust minor fitting issues with different boots.

Superfeet insoles are the bees knees! I wear the green ones.

They're pretty bad ass.

In the dark recesses of my trap-like memory, I seem to recall you hating boots. Is this the gnu ewe? Did it only take 12 steps to change your mind? See what I did there?

I have not worn boots in years but decided to try a dedicated pair for hunting this year.

I still prefer a non-boot.



Dave

I most recently went with a pair each of Boulet and Lucchese.



Alligator and ostrich.

Those go great with a pair of Mexicans.

If you go with Cabelas , there is a 1 yr warranty. After the one year, they give a discount for the next one.

I bought a pair of Danner Sharptail's (the lace up version) this winter. Been hiking with my 2 GSP's this winter every weekend covering 2-3 miles at a whack, no issues and they are SUPER comfortable.

I really like my Camino gtx Lowa boots. I use them with the super feet carbon insoles and wool socks.

I do a great deal of side hill walking in very rocky terrain after coues wt and especially mearns quail. I like the support and durability.

Two very rough seasons and the boots are starting to show the abuse with the soles worn down some. The leather is still going strong. I may get a new pair for the upcoming season. I will be staying with Lowa. Think the next pair will be one of the Tibet models.
