[QUOTE="littlebighorn, post: 2377041, member: 112108"] Over a decade of sheep hunts I have used Meindel, Zamberlain, Lowa, and Chrispi boots. All have been great although some fit my feet better than others. You need a heavier boot for a backpack hunt over one that you might be riding horses. (more weight you carry the sturdier the boot requirement. Most sheep hunts are in rocks that eat up boots. Our NWT backpack guide went through 3 pair of Kenetreks in one season because they didn't hold up for him. (Just reporting what he said). One possible recommendation: On our last sheep hunt my son ordered 10 different boots online, tried them all on and walked around the house in them for a week. Then he chose the one he liked the most and sent the rest back. Most online companies have free return policies which made it real easy for him to evaluate all of the brands he had an interest in. If you have the funds, Lathrop and Sons will custom fit you into a boot that will fit your foot the best, but it's not cheap. I have really short wide feet and I have a terrible time finding the right boot. They helped me a lot. Best of luck. Sheep hunts are expensive so paying a little extra for the right boot could pay big dividends. [/QUOTE]
