Spend your $$ on boots and glass. Do everything you can to make sure your boots are broken in before the hunt. I wore Danners for years and was happy. I made the switch to a pair of Schnees beartooths this year and I’m not looking back. A good friend tried a pair and didn’t like them at all and eventually switched to Kennetreks. Bottom line is you need to find boots that feel good to you and put some miles on them before your hunt. Good luck and take lots of pics!
