[QUOTE="WapitiBob, post: 1144319, member: 38015"] I used to guide on the East side of Brazos Peak. I would take a lace boot. If "shortly" means a Dec hunt, probably a 400gr thinsulate model. I'm not a fan of Danner but an all leather version like their "elk hunters" should do the job in that country. Cabelas will have a comparable model. Personally, I buy my boots from REI as they have a 1 year return policy, regardless of reason. If you're walking miles, some up, some down, you need a boot that holds your foot solid. Nothing should move but your toes. Uphill your heel will want to lift, downhill your toes will want to jam the front. You'll want to trim your nail WAY back regardless. Many suggest replacing the insole. I stopped using Superfeet and Sole brands as they were too hard/slick on the surface and caused hot spots. I ended up with the Dr Scholes "athletic" type. Gel type mtl everywhere but under the arch. [/QUOTE]
