I just bought a pair of Zamberlan Sellas and a pair of Lowa GTX Hunters and so far I really like both of them. Had some ankle issues this year and have been spending a ridiculous amount trying to keep from really ripping it out.
The Kenetreks are very comfortable but I got in a bad spot this year leading a string down a brutal stretch I should have rode but walked instead and rolled my right ankle. The mules were unimpressed.
The Lowa�s have great ankle support and protected my weakened ankle on a pretty easy 5 day elk hunt in CO this week.
The Kenetrek gaiters are really good and the boots (Mountain Extreme) are great but have a little less ankle than some others. Makes for quick break-in and a very comfortable boot but will give a little less protection to your ankle if you screw up. World is full of tradeoffs.
On a side not I hunted with a buddy wearing Meindl Canada Hunters and his were noticeably louder when a misstep hit a rock and they had that annoying Meindl squeak.
