I liked the kenetrek, zamberlan and the schnees but I couldn't pass up the 20% off and the reviews lol. It also helped that they shipped me 2 pair and a free return label for the size I didn't like. I think they all top of the line. I have 11 miles on here. Yesterday bear hunting I did right at 6 miles and went into the swamp to see how quick my feet would get wet. Bone Dry!!! I even played in puddles a few times. I had on a light weight brush gaiter, not waterproof

Zamberlan Latemar NW. These pop out at me. For mountaineering I've got a pair of Scarpa Mont Blanc and I like those. However the NW constructed boots are way better than their molded counterparts just getting very hard to find

Please don’t say it’s so!!! My Danner pronghorns have been with me all over the country but it’s about time for another pair. So the new ones suck???? I will second that. I bought a new pair of Quarry for a good price offline. Leather looks and feels fake and no they are not waterproof like they should be.

Danner built it's brand around boots like their Elk Hunter and their hiking boots i.e. the Mountain Light. Those are the good ones. I feel like they have really damaged their brand making cheaper products but I am sure the labor in making a boot like those I mentioned is significant and this would be why nobody makes boots like this anymore. I don't know if you can make good boots on a machine or what the process is but constructing them like a tennis shoe has to be easier. And they last about the same as a tennis shoe.
I really like their Elk Hunters. Very good hunting boots for Turkey or out West hunting. I don't love the bob sole around rocky ground because it is slippery but otherwise they are really nice. I have never heard anyone in my life say they are uncomfortable.
