[QUOTE="jmden, post: 591525, member: 1742"] Oh...you're saying there's two qualities of Hathorns, not just Hathorns and Whites? I've been out of that type of workboot world for awhile. Now I wear the Danner Acadia steel toe at work... Can't remember how many pairs of mountaineering boots I've gone through. One very clear experience I've gleaned from owning and wearing plastic mountaineering boots though is that I very rarely and only in certain specific conditions would want to hunt (unless I'm in snow like plastic mountaineering boots are made for) in a stiff, typically full shank, hunting boot. There's a few of these out there that are being touted as the 'boot you have to have' and I call %@# and they are very expensive. They are not fun to walk in at all. Stiff boots like that are great in snow and (hard snow, not soft)--that's where they come into their own. Had an acquaintance that bought an expensive pair of these this year and is greatly regretting it. For the typical big game hunter, that stiff of a boot is just not what they need. You need to be able to walk comfortably and need the right amount of flex in the sole of a given boot. Every boot is a compromise and you just have figure out what works best for you. [/QUOTE]
