[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 2518111, member: 20646"] Hey there CrankyYankee.....not sure if you've already bought your boots, but another brand/model to consider would be a Hoffman Summit. It's a 6" boot that may approximate your weight consideration. Here's a link and photo: [URL='https://hoffmanboots.com/hoffman-summit']Hoffman Summit[/URL] [ATTACH type="full" width="272px"]361994[/ATTACH] Anyway, I bought the 8" Explorer but don't have it yet (should be here today). Based on the many reviews i've read, y$$tube vids i've watched, and many years of experience with Italian mountaineering boots, i put my $$$ on a pair. [URL='https://hoffmanboots.com/8-hoffman-explorer']Hoffman Explorer[/URL] [ATTACH type="full" alt="0000559_8-hoffman-explorer.jpeg"]361991[/ATTACH] The boot manufacturer is Armond in Italy...look to be the "usual" high-quality Italian mountaineering boot manufacturer. [URL='https://www.armond.com/en/caccia.html']Armond Italian bootmaker[/URL] I bought the Uninsulated Hoffman/Armond Explorer for non-cold weather hunting/hiking here in Colorado. My cold-weather hunting/hiking/mountaineering boots are LaSportiva Nepal Extremes - very stiff, very warm superb boots (they've served me well in climbing as well). Anyway, i hope that's helpful in some way.... PS - i am not affiliated with Hoffman in any way...just a happy customer with a pair of their pack boots (i bought the double-insulated 'mountaineer' in Dec 2019 - best pack boot i have ever seen).
