As you can see from my posts, I hunt a variety of conditions. I bought a new pair of hunting boots last Fall and the right one already leaks and the right sole is broken. I was always a big believer in a certain brand but they are all now made outside the USA and the quality is gone. Using my right foot on the shovel puts stress on that boot. I like a 400g Thinsulate and Gore-Tex in a fairly light boot because sometimes Dman and I walk 8-10 miles in a day. Any suggestions? Thanks.
