[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 258874, member: 4191"] Well I appreciated you sharing your background and until given a good reason, take you at your word. I looked at some of the boots you've recommended and I have historically preferred 10-11" tall boots for the additional support they provide on the mountainsides while sheep hunting. You seem to prefer the shorter heights. Another reason I like the taller boots is I've found that the fit doesn't have to be perfect in order to keep my foot from moving around in the boot. I've used the Cabela's Meindl Canada Boot for about 16 years and liked it. Two years ago I picked up a set of Haix Montana boots on display at the 2007 Shot Show in Orlando. They are similar in design to the Meindl Canada but I find them to be a slightly higher quality boot. I've had some issues with the Meindl soles delaminating prematurely while the rest of the boot was still in good condition. Any experience with Haix boots? I understand they are manufactured in Germany and popular with firefighters and police departments in some parts of the world. [/QUOTE]
