[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 304307, member: 3745"] RockZ As some of the others have pointed out it is hard to narrow things down to one boot as different hunts require different equipment, boots included. For serious backpack hunting in rough steep country I don't think you can go wrong with the Lowa boots you mentioned. I wear a pair of Lowa Sheephunter boots sold by Schnees. These are serious heavy duty boots, that will stand up to any terrain you can throw at them. They have a great footbed, and really good ankle support which is very important to me. I also added Spenco backpacking insoles to mine for a better arch support. Superfeet insoles work well also. The only down side to the Lowa Sheephunters is they are heavy.........oh, and they are not cheap either. Schnees sells them $399. They are worth it though in my opinion. I have had mine for 6 seasons and they have been through everything from sheep hunts in Alaska, to a dozens of hunting and guiding trips in NM and WY. They are a little scuffed, but other than that, they are as good as the day I got them......better actually, they are stiff boots and require a good bit of break in. [/QUOTE]
