Can't find anything around Lake Charles. I may end up having to drive to REI in Houston. Thanks.

This will be Sept archery, backpacking trip into wilderness, so i'll probably have a 30-40 pound pack on.

How's that? It's not an expensive trip.

You can get some good Dannons at places like Cabellas (or whatever it is now) in the $200 range. Try on first, break them in before you go

Skip the heavy boots and get a quality pair of trail shoes that are basically a heavy duty sneaker. The much prefer those for early season Western hunts.

I would get something over the ankle, but heavy duty isn't needed.
Good pair of hiking boots like my Lowa Renegades is plenty.
OP, there are a number of good brands just find the boot that fits you best and at the minimum keeps your heel locked in.

I bought some danners for my trip last year. Semi guided hunt and we hiked about 35 miles over 7 Days. No blisters no pain. BUT one thing I did do is put the boots on about 3x week and walked on the treadmill to aid breaking them in.

Make sure it's above the ankle.

I really like my Lowa Rangers. They have fantastic customer service and will pay for the shipping if you need to swap sizes.

I don’t do above the ankle and have no problems. Love the lite weight. I’ve never rolled an ankle in my life, so I might be different than most.
