[QUOTE="shooter7, post: 1175936, member: 39303"] So I'll throw in my input here. First off, I'm a forester. I spend most of my work days in the field from Idaho, western Montana, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. When I first started working I had danner pronghorns. They were extremely comfortable but they only held up for about 3 months. Then I went to danner flashpoint fire boots. Those got me a year but took a solid month of bleeding feet to break me in. On my work crew right now we're all split between kennetrek, lowa, and scarpa boots. I have scarpa fuegos and have never been happier. They're a straight up mountaineering boot and have found that works best for me. The main area I hunt is in central Colorado and my secondary unit is in north central Colorado. If you can get used to it stiff mountaineering boots are the way to go. Keep in mind that 5 miles a day is leaning towards an easier day when chasin these critters. Whatever your choice buy them well before the season and do some hiking in them before hand. I would suggest goin with REI as you can try them out for a full year and if you aren't satisfied you can send them back in used condition and get a full refund or exchange. [/QUOTE]
