Good Pair of Boots

Try Nicks too

Nicks makes some great boots too. I had a ton of problems with whites stretching and rolling over. I had a pair of swithced to Nicks and have never looked back. I think they are a better fit and finish than whites IMO

climbit knows.

priorities my man. nick's is all i wear. sell something, work extra jobs, eat rice and beans for a month or two and get nick's. i sold/gave away all my previously beloved danners-and was shredding cheapos every 6 months before that. nick's eliminated my need for rx orthodics. orthodics and office visits cost more than great boots.

and you can find them used on the big auction site or craigslist sometimes. resole them rebuild them for-nearly-ever.

but you need to know your "nicks" size. i wear 10.5 in everything else. 10 in nicks. your feet may vary.

i have the rancher and the hotshot ltt, and might get another pair when i can.

you will pay a little for them but i haven't found a better pair of boots than Danner

Love my redwings. They seem to hold up and the company gives you lots of options - logger, hiking, etc. They probably have something that will fit your needs. I think Danner is a brand that Redwing bought some time ago and also offers some fine boots. I can't remember if it is Danner or Redwing but one of the brands has a "rainforest" boot that seems to be pretty well built and a few more features than redwing's traditional loggers. I think Baileys has them....

i believe that danner makes the rainforest.
if you do look at buying danner make sure that they are ones that are made in the USA, because there is a big difference.

Google Hoffmans boots. Check out the Meindl Caulks. I've heard some good things about these boots. They are waterproof about 11" or so. the only problem is they are insulated. Also the danner pronghorns I've heard good about.

Trampbushler-- you know anyone wearing the meindls up there?

Meindl's are very good hunting ,hiking ect . boots . I think they have 400 grams of Thinsulate and the way Hoffman,s puts the sole on they don,t have steel inside the sole . 9(The caulks "corks" ) are in a sole of their own that is vulacnized to the sole ..... Those boots are stiff enough for DallSheep hunting and so they are strong enough to fall timber in , specially for a light guy .. I weigh almost a hundred pounds more than he does ... I know guys who wear them for hunting ... They don,t have a steel or other saftey toe , nor any cut protection ... Don,t really need that unless the company requires it ... Sposed to cut wood , not boots .......

meindl

All of my hunting boots are meindl and I will never wear anything else. The caulk version that hoffman's sells are more than likely just as good. For wet conditions these would be A+++. Dry conditions----> Nicks for sure!
