The US made Danners are sewn on and the over seas manufactured Danners are bonded. My US made Danner Grouse boots with the air bob sole have been terrific, but being leather, they hold more scent than a rubber boot. Boots for deer hunting depend on where and how you hunt. If I don't need to walk very far and want to stay warm for a long time my Caribou Sorel boots work very well, but I don't like them for walking. My LaCrosse Alpha Lites slip on and off well but they rubbed a blister on me that nearly cost me the deer season. The Muck Arctic Pro boots are a nice compromise for waterproof, pretty warm and better for walking than the Sorel Caribou boots. When I need to go a long ways or only plan to sit for a couple hours or still hunt, then it is those Danner un-insulated Grouse boots with a set of slip over Boot Blankets from my pack.
