What the heck, my 2c worth. I used to be a big fan of Danner Grouse boots (the USA made ones, not the Chinese cheapo's) but I didn't get a lot of ankle support. Last year I pulled the pin on a pair of Meindl Denali's from Cabela's

Best boot I've ever owned. Great support, comfortable (no break in period at all), waterproof (so far!) and a quality made boot. They are a bit on the heavy side, but the pros outweigh the cons. Mine are German made.

For winter hunting I have an older pair of Irish Setter insulated boots, another great boot, still waterproof, warm in sub zero weather. I've had these boots for close to 8 years now, still going strong.

While we're at it. If any of you have a Danner boot and they need to be "refreshed" don't send them to Danner to have this done. By the time your done, for a few bucks more you can buy a new pair. I know, I did it.

Anyway, my 2c worth as I said.

Best,

Greg
