[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2467014, member: 66917"] From my experience hunting in southern AZ rough country for years, heel fit is pretty important to avoid rubbing that leads to blisters. The Crispi Thor II GTX and Briksdal Non-Insulated GTX have narrow heels. I know this because I helped my son in law find a pair of boots with a narrow heel. I know one of your requirements was a flexible boot, but I think you will find a firmer sole boot will tire your foot much less than a very flexible sole boot. Plus, if there are any rocks involved that you must walk across a firmer sole will definitely tire your foot less. With boots you really need to try them on with your hunting socks to be sure they are going to fit, no feet are created the same. I have used Meindls for years but my son in law could not use them because his heel slips in them. He went with the Briksdal Non-Insulated GTX. [/QUOTE]
