Hey all,
I'm getting ready for a fall hunt in WY. Terrain will be rolling hills with lots of walking. I've read a bunch of threads here and have a general idea, but I'd like to narrow it down a little more to my specifics.
Lightweight
Waterproof
Non-insulated
6"-12"
Easy to break in
Flexible sole... not stiff
Narrow/Snug heel
Generous toe box or wide sizes
Gonna be hiking, walking, glassing, and stalking all day.
I plan on getting gaiters
I also plan on getting really good inserts instead of the crap ones that come with it.
Crispi, Mendl, and Zamberlan seem to fit the bill, but I'm still researching. Eventually I'd like to find a store in the S.E. (GA/FL) area to actually try some on without having to buy a bunch and return a bunch.
What say LRH?
Thanks in advance.
