I bought a pair of Meindl Alaskan this year and love them. Haven't worn My Danner Canadians since I bought them.
With that said everyone's feet are different.

My favorites are Crispi Hunters. Italian made and feel more like bedroom slippers than insulated boots.
I have owned many top brands and these are my all time favorites.

Check out Lathrop and sons for boots. If they don't have 15s, I think Schnees in Bozeman does, check their Granite boot.
I wear 14's, but not quite their with you.

Kennetrek mountain extremes are the only boot I've found I could get more than 2 seasons out of before they where trash. The pair I have now are going on their third season with no signs of slowing down. I love them

Probably need some new Superfeet this year though.

Going to Montana this September. Need a size 15 wide.
Any suggestions for a good boot? Just watch going around barefoot at camp , some nuts with cameras will start following you around!!! All Kidding aside I wear Kenetrek Hardscrabbles and am quite happy with them. I never wear insulated boots ,just a mid weight wool sock.....

I was thinking no insulation, or 200 gram considering I'd be moving around a lot and not need the insulation.

I'd consider Cabelas Meindl. I've heard some have issues with them not lasting as long as 'they should'. I hunted a pair last year and put ~ 200 miles on them in steep/ugly, flat/wet, hot/cold, wet/dry and couldn't find fault. Time will tell. I tried on a pair of Denali's this week (non-insulated) and will likely end up with a pair of them before season gets here.

I tried a pair of those cabelas meindl and they were really comfortable right from the start. Made it through a season with them and the start of the second season they completely blew out.

I've heard that but am hoping to get 3 seasons from them. I normally don't get boots to last beyond 3-4 seasons.

If you're willing to spend the ducats, USA made Danner USMC RAT boots. I've got a pair with 3 seasons of use and they show very little signs of wear and they are very comfortable. The downside is they're a little heavy and butt ugly. http://www.danner.com/usmc-rat-8-mojave-gtx.html?currency=USD&gclid=CPeQ5PTPoNICFQp3fgod5bcJ0A
