I think your on the right track with the Danner Pronghorns. I have owned many pairs of these, in 200 gram, 400 gram, 1 pair of 800 gram Pronghorns and several pairs of non-insulated. These are My favorite hunting boots by far. I do a pile of walking to get to My stands and hiking into remote, rugged areas to hang trail cameras, these boots are extremely comfortable and have proven to be very durable....Good luck...Hb
