[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 591203, member: 27328"] American boots are easy to buy. Danner, Wellco and Belleville sell direct to the public as well as through many stores. I think Matterhorn will as well. There is also Red Wing, Whites and Chippewa. If you can't find American boots in a retail store, it's time to quit patronising that store. The current military boot made by Danner, Wellco and Belleville make exceptionally good hunting boots in mountain terrain, they were made to survive in Afghanistan. Mine is called the Danner Combat Hiker, which is now replaced by the Danner Improved Combat Hiker (ICH). The Wellco version sells for about $100 less than Danner.The Belleville version will be probably even less, after they fill military orders. Danner and Wellco now sell their versions direct to public. They all use the Vibram Bifida sole, and that sole climbs like a mountain goat. You see it on many of the very best European mountain hiker boots costing $300+. I have long used the Danner Ft Lewis for hunting in cold weather as mine are insulated. Danner will custom build in extra wide sizes on special order. The Ft. Lewis and ICH are used by elite military forces, are made in the USA from premium materials, and like the Acadia, the RAT, and several other military boots, are at the top of the recommended list by military personnel who live in them. You may not have heard of Belleville or Wellco or Cove Shoe (Matterhorn, Corcoran), but check them out. They have concentrated on military/police/agency sales, but sell to the general public as well.
