I just wear my Scarpas that you couldn't exactly call bird hunting boots. If it gets cold enough, the Schnees pack boots will come out but dang the thought of walking 7 miles in those is not good. The Scarpas are super stiff and I step in badger holes all the time. They've saved me a few sprains so far.
George, I had a pair of those Kangaroo boots years ago. They were actually very nice till I wore them out. I could see those for long jaunts.
