[QUOTE="jimss, post: 1592128, member: 66919"] I've been on 2 sheep and 3 mtn goat hunts in Alaska. I've also been on a dozen mtn goat and 4 sheep hunts in Colo. My preference is lighter and more freedom of movement with mid wt/ht hikers. There is plenty of ankle support and the soles are thick enough to protect my feet on super steep, rocky terrain. I add extra padding by replacing the insoles and wearing socks with more padding in the soles and lace areas. I've never needed gators....even sliding down shale slopes. Just wear pants that are long and you should be ok. It hasn't snowed much on any of my sheep hunts. I work in Colo through the winter and have never needed insulated boots. I buy my boots around 1/2 to 1 size larger so I can added extra padded insoles and also un-cinch the laces if I want to wear socks with a little thicker/warmer socks. My boots of choice are Lowa Vantage and Caminos. I really liked Scarpa Kailach but they were a little narrow for my feet. I have a higher, stiffer pair of Lowa Tibets that are super nice but are too heavy and stiff. If you need additional ankle support I would recommend Tibets. [/QUOTE]
