[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 2226974, member: 1940"] I’ve spent my life hunting and guiding for elk, backpacking/mountaineering and working in western Colorado. Personally I like a stiff, but not rigid, boot. About 30 years ago I started using stiff backpacking or somewhat flexible mountaineering boots made by various quality mountaineering boot manufacturers. My preference are goretex/ synthetic boots- light, very sturdy and supportive with a stiff torsional flex. Currently I’m using Lathrop And Sons brand boots. Very close to perfect, for me. Decide what sort of flex you want then choose the best close fitting, not too roomy, boot you find. My work boots are double lasted Whites smoke jumpers. Serious boots for the rough and steep country I work in, but heavy and no membrane. Love the L&S bit they’re hot for the late summer marmot hunts and September big game. Going to try a pair of Crispi Colorado for early hunts. For 20 years Asolo were just right but these old feet have now splayed a bit. [/QUOTE]
