[QUOTE="stirner, post: 1551663, member: 44287"] I've worn Miendle and Kennetrek boots, and basically there isn't much difference. Both have an aluminum 3/4 length shank in the sole, which makes them very stiff. It also prrevents foot fatigue. They are both equally waterproof. I currently own 1 Miendle (2000 gram thinsulate), and 2 Kennetreks (a Hardscrabble NI and an Everstep Orthopedic 400). Last summer I was hand mowing my pasture for fire abatemeent, when I apparently stepped in a divit or a high bunchgrass. I have no idea how or when it happened, but after finishing mowing, my ankle was sore, and starting to swell. X-rays showed an avulsion fracture of the ankle. I was wearing the Hardscrabble boots at the time. The doctor turned me on to the Everstep boots, and I have been wearing them since. That includes upland and big game hunting, and any time I'm outside and not walking on pavement. They give more lateral support than any other boot I have owned. They are not too warm for summer wear. Unfortunately, our winter has been pretty mild this year (yesterday was only 10 degrees), so I can't give a report for use in cold weather. Needless to say, I recommend the Everstep boots. They will serve you well for backpacking, and transversing the Colorado high mountain scree (been there, done that). [/QUOTE]
