[QUOTE="WeekendWarrior, post: 2226761, member: 117901"] Lots of guys will say Crispi or Kenetrek because these boots are commonly advertised to the hunting community, and are great boots - make no mistake. Truth be told, the companies dedicated to mountaineering and climbing make the best boots for being off trail, in snow, on steep ground, while keeping the boots light as a feather. I personally still hunt in La Sportiva Trango boots. Scarpa, La Sportiva, Lowa, and Asolo are some of the premier names and all make great boot technical boots. The founder of Kuiu, Jason Hariston, always hunted in Scarpa boots, here he is going through his gear list for a backpack hunt, showing off his boots: [MEDIA=youtube]ooHvPr4Bk4I:71[/MEDIA] Something to note is these ultralight synthetic boots can lack durability. Prior to taking hunting more seriously, I climbed professionally as a guide, and I would go through three pairs of my Trango boots a year, usualy wearing out the toe climbing alpine rock to the point my crampons couldn't hold anymore... I was using them 5-7 days a week and doing relatively hard climbs, but the older style full leather boots always held up better than the newer synthetic boots. Something to think about. Again, nothing wrong with a traditional leather hunting boot, but if weight and performance are the highest priority, consider a lightly insulted mountaineering boot. [/QUOTE]
