Agree that trying is the only way to find out what works.
For elk hunting and rough terrain, short of true mountain hunting, I use an older pair of Danner insulated lace-to-the-toes with air bob soles. IIRC the model is Elk Hunters - don’t know if they still make them. They’re tough, fairly supportive and waterproof.
For flatter terrain, I prefer Russell Mountain PH with their soft Vibram soles. Not as supportive or as stiff as the Danners but comfortable for long walks in fairly flat places or occasional slopes or kopjes. The leather is very water resistant when treated correctly.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty of give me death! P. Henry

I bring a pair of Schnee 10” Hunter pac boots and a pair of 200 gram Danner Pronghorns.

If they fit you I think it's tough to beat Meindl's. Fits the most important thing.

2015 i bought a pair of Keen Targhee II. Finally tossed them last year after a lot of abuse. Bought a pair of Targhee III and they lasted 8 months before falling apart. Keen sent me a pair of Targhee II replacements and they are THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE boot I have ever had.
I'm also looking for a similar boot as the Keen's but better built.
