my Browning lace ups finally died after 20+ years. mid-level insulated, half way up the calf. they were REALLY comfortable for upland/rough terrain. i deer hunt in Tx and Ok mainly. any recs for something similar?

edit: price is no problem, i SPEND MONEY on good footwear

I got some Danner lace ups like these and they are super comfortable and warm. If I can be slightly critical of them, the tread on the sole wore down pretty quick, but I've been wearing them for everything in the cold. I weld, cut trail, hunt, hike and everything in them.

I have some highhtop Danners as well. I am assuming it is something ergonomically with me but they kill my Achilles after a day or two of hiking in them. I have some midtop Columbia's that I switch to and I don't have the same problem. Need to get it figured out and either order some new boots or start hiking differently before next fall.

I have some 1200 gram danner pronghorns, 400 gram miendls and uninsulated crispis that I wear but also wear lacrosse and muck rubber boots. My crispis are my favorite for everything

Interesting. I have some Columbia boots also but can't seem to walk well in them. I have flat feet and I'm guessing my problems stem from that. The columbia don't feel like they have any arch support. Been a bit since I've put them on. May try to work in them this afternoon and refresh my memory.

Crispi Nevadas uninsulated have been as advertised for me. Zero break-in period, comfortable and supportive around the ankle, waterproof, etc. They do have insulated options as well. I want to wear these in the Texas summers as well as winter, so opted for uninsulated.

I've been looking at these but haven't pulled the trigger on any yet. Trying to figure out what level of insulation, if any, I should order. Primarily want to use them as a "cold" weather boot for Louisiana white tail hunts in 30s+/- temps but do plan on an elk hunt within the next few years (if I have to order separate boots for that, so be it, but an "all-purpose" purchase would be preferred). My 20 year old Timberlands are great most of the season, but I'm too old to mess with cold feet when temps drop. Any input on whether to go with no insulation or 200g? Assume the 600g is overkill and will lead to sweating in likely hunting temps for me.

I just bought a pair of these yesterday and really like them so far. Super comfortable.

I have had danner hiking style boots in the past that were very good. My current favourites are keens. They fit my foot well
