Bringing this back up. I put in for a slightly later Deer hunt in CO and will want one pair of insulated boots. Still happy with the Salomons as far as fit and feel. In fact I have three pairs! Just want something a bit warmer in case I find myself still hunting at 9-10k in late October. Two boots of interest are the Crispi Nevadas and the Lathrop & Sons Mountain Hunter Elite.

Breathability is always a big concern of mine, so I think the Mountain Hunter Elite with the more breathable tongue design would be preferable to the Mountain Hunter.

I really don't know about the Crispi. All leather concerns me. Feet staying dry (from sweat) results in cold feet regardless of insulation. Probably why I do so well with the Salomons.

Not ruling out the Cabelas Meindls either. I was waiting to try them at the Cabelas that recently opened near me, but it turns out they don't carry them at this store! ugh.
