cohofishing Report post Posted September 13, 2015 I wore lowa Tibets on my Colorado alpine hunt. Love them. Got them on shoebuy for$288 with a free pair of smart wool socks. They are pretty stiff but with 100+ lbs on my back they where great Brent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rageinthesage Report post Posted September 13, 2015 I want to get my hands on the Kenetrek desert guides, they look like the perfect az boot, way pricey though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossislider Report post Posted September 13, 2015 I've been wanting to try some Kenetreks for a while, but I really struggle to drop close to $500 on boots. Crazy thing is my wife wants me to them and I still haven't done it. I have a surgically repaired foot (ankle, arch, toes, ligaments, etc) with lots of metal and screws in there. I'm sure it would be worth the investment to protect my foot. But I stick with Danner and supplement that with a ASO brace. That seems to lock my foot down good and tight, more so than any boot alone that I have tried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rcdinaz Report post Posted September 13, 2015 Guess I am the only one wearing Asolo. Have for the past 5-6 years mostly because they fit my C width foot so well. They have been great boots. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viper Report post Posted September 13, 2015 I love the fit, comfort, support....and price of the Cabelas/Meindle Perfekt Hiker. Just bought my 2nd pair. I tried on the Kenetreks, but the arch support dug into my foot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
