My choice in boots or shoes has evolved and probably will continue to. I've used Merrill, New Balance, Danner boots and even Nike shoes.

For now, I want no insulation, no Gore-tex, leather upper and a quiet sole.

This year I'm going to try the Merrill version of a desert boot and a Georgia Boot chukka.

But I've got some arthritis in my right foot so I may be pickier than others! Lol!


Winchester rifles and Swarovski scopes.
