I figure that the 1000+ boots are for serious sitting and thats a different animal. If your going to sit for 6+ hours in 10F well your going to want something with lots of insulation and loose fitting. Walking is sort of secondary for this type of application.

For more general hunting I like a set of rockies with 600g that I have. I bought them just a little large and I also bought a set of superfeet insoles. For bow hunting and other mild weather stand sitting I use the factory insoles which leave some extra room in the boots.

If I am going to be walking distance over rougher terrian and it "tightens" them up a bit and makes them a nice walking boot.

The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge
