My Hanwag Yukons have been good to my feet. I'd buy another pair. Hoping to have a pair of Omegas before next season though...

Had a great pair of Garmonts that I wore lots here, Alaska and the Yukon. Don't make those anymore so I'm trying Kenetrek.

yep, lots of guys think if they arent 400 bucks they arent worth wearing.
my current boots are asolo. i love em for their sturdy construction, but exceptional light weight. comfortable as heck too. in fact i should buy another pair now because every time i find something i like its discontinued when i try to find it again.

I just switched to miendls I like them but their wearing out pretty fast. As far as durability I dont think scarpa's can be beaten. My dad has a pair he wore for years and I know of other guys who switched to them and same thing. Kenetek seem pretty popular also.

I've been geeting mine from Track and Trail in Edmonton. I think there is also a place in Banff as well. Ithink if you go on the Hanwag website they have a spot where you can find the dealers.

Heck, I've climbed a lot of mountains in $40 rubber boots with removable liners and they have done just fine, particularly when hiking in deep wet snow, feet are always dry

I have worn alsmost all of the above & they were all pretty good Hanwags were good then I went to Meindls after that Danner guide boots which by the way were more comfortable the first day I wore them than the last day I wore my Meindls. I have a new pair of Kenetrek I think there called mountain hunter or something like that they seem very comfortable have to see how they wear when you wear them for a living they have to work most guys just get stuck on one brand & they never get a chance to try out others.

Bought a pair of Hanwag Atlai Gtx this winter and have had them out for a few go rounds this spring. They fit the same as my Hanwag Alaska Gtx, just a little lighter in weight and a little bit lower cut as well. Seem like very good boots for summer/mild weather conditions.

Ive been running my latest pair of Meindel boots for the past 5 years. They are showing absolutely no signs of failure, and will hopefully carry for me a few more years.
At work I have 2 pairs of Kennetrek Mountain Extreme boots. One pair is uninsulated for summer and the other has 400g of insulation for winter. Also great boots on par with the Meindels... Possibly a touch more comfortable.

don't do a whole lot of sheep hunting, but spend a fair bit of time hiking the mountains and bringing other guys in.
I wear Kenetrek Mountain Guides and they are simply amazing

Of course after one season I will need to use some glue (see separate thread).
I had full leather Meindls from the old country that lasted a lot longer than one or two seasons!

Ive had Kenetreks for the last 3 years. I use Nikki wax after every hunt they are still going strong. I wear custom insoles for a perfect fit. The tread is showing wear but not much considering the amount of miles i have on them.
To each there own.
