Help Finding New Boots

[Aegis]

I'm partial to Meindl. I tend to have difficulty finding shoes and boots that I can wear for long times without starting to hurt, but Meindl works. First pair of boots I had was used year round for almost ten years, in temperatures from 0 to 90F.

I'm currently trying to find a pair of lighter hiking boots that are comfortable, and thought I'd see if I can find another brand this time. Never heard of Danner before, not sure if they are even available here, but I'll start looking for them.

Danner has two levels of boot, too. One made in China, the other in the US. I'd recommend you stick with those made in the US. If you can't find them over there, you can find them online pretty easily.

Danner. If you are willing to pay more for good stuff, you may as well have the best.

+1 and then some. I've yet to find anything better.

Erik, I think our feet must be related. I had trouble finding comfortable boots until I bought a pair of Meindls about ten years ago. I have bought nothing else since (I'm on my third pair now, two of the three still being in service). I'm wearing a pair of Meindl half-boots as I type this, and the full-boots with thermal lining have served me well for hunting in rain, slush and snow. Recommended.
