Boots are like jeans, everybody's preference is different. For rifle seasons, I like waterproof and comfortable. Like soft, broken in, comfortable. Throw in light weight - you will notice a difference. I've been using Danner's of some sort for decades now, latest are the Pronghorns. I get maybe three seasons out of them, but they are comfortable the instant I put them on and don't need break in. They don't give blisters going up or down the hills either. For bow season I've worn trail running shoes before.
