Scott - I typically wear the same boots here that I use on western style hunts.

I have really liked the Meindl Denali’s for a full grain leather boot, used them for 7-8 years. Recently, I have been wearing Zamberlan Storm Pro’s. They’ve worked well for me for all hunting in Appalachia as well as my trips to Alaska and Wyoming.

If you prefer some insulation for the colder temperatures the Meindl’s with 200-400 grams of insulation are great. They’re too warm for me in anything over 25-30 degrees though if I’m hiking all day.
