Boots for a Montana hunt

[nksmfamjp]

I've tried:

1. Zamberlan 1014 Lynx
2. Zamberlan 1005 Hunter Pro
3. Zamberlan 980 Outfitter
4. Zamberlan 981 Wasatch
5. Zamberlan 1025 Tofane
6. Hanwag Trapper Top
7. Hanwag Alaska
8. Hanwag Alaska Winter
9. Hanwag Sirus II
10. Kenetrek Mountain Extreme 400
11. Crispi Wild Rock
12. Crispi Summit
13. Schnee's Granite 600
14. Lathrop & Sons Mountain Hunter Elite
15. Scarpa Charmoz

The Zamberlan 1014 Lynx are by far my most favorite. The Kenetreks are a distant second for my foot.

I showed some people from Montana this list that have hunted their whole lives. Lots of time in the field……

Never owned or would own these boots. There are a lot of things to spend money and weight on…..$400+ boots just don't make the list.

That said, these are better boots, but I have found comfort in my Dannear gore Tex boots.

If that works for you, by all means. I'm an advocate of not spending money on stuff that doesn't make a difference.

I grew up hunting in whatever Dad ordered out of Sportsman's Guide. Started chasing different boots when my feet devolved enough to be interfering with being to be able to get out and hunt. $400 becomes a drop in the bucket if you can't get out otherwise.
