What he said.
Try on a bunch of brands. Took me a while to find the right boots. Don’t overlook insoles like Superfeet and good socks.
Skip the advice on multiple levels of insulated boots for a pack in bow elk hunt.
Feet are different. But spend the money to get the best boots you can for your feet. I like the Kenetreks, alot. But they don't work for everybody. I would not hunt in either of those boots you listed. Get great boots and skimp on other stuff if you have to. You do not need thousands of sitka or kuiu either. I guide and hunt in Wyoming and spend lots on boots and then look for deals on everything else. STP, camofire, wrangler outdoor pants, Prana, spring sales on warm stuff. And look at other companies besides hunting brands.
