I used some Underarmor boots for 2 seasons when I hunted the SD. Most of it was pretty steep, some rugged, none further than 3.5 miles one way.
The boots were fantastic, water proof, comfortable, decent ankle support, and felt like wearing tennis shoes. They lasted 1/2 a season. Last time I hunted out west I wore my insulated Redwing work boots, non-steel toe. I'm almost positive they're close to indestructible. They have 1000's of hours on them, albiet, kinda heavy.
I'd like a pair of non-steel toes and just use them for hunting.
