You have one pair of boots

Yeah I have 3 pairs of danners. Looking at a 4th pair....

Just wanted to know what everyone else was doing for the fun of it

 

define for the fun of it >>

 

Hopefully the pair I have is the pair that fits best, has been broken in and is comfortable to wear for extended durations. I currently have a pair of Vasque that meet that description but don't know how much longer they will last. I keep hearing about Danner so I'm probably going to need to look at them next time I'm in the market.

 

To garner information about other brands/types of footwear that I do not possess, in the form of a possibly enjoyable (for ones who choose to ponder and answer) forum question.

I'd say that sums it up...

 

got it

 

Whatttttttt!

 

Vasque, custom made Asolo, Danner, Red Wing, Stanley, CAT, Wolverine, 5.11, Bates, and too many others. Some as good for their purpose(s), some not, however, none better than Kenetrek and are my preferred the last number of years.

 

you wanna talk about danners?

 

I am on my fourth pair of Irish setters. I believe they are called the elk hunter. 600 grams of thinsulate and gortex lined. Great boot. My summer boots are danners. Both are worth every penny. I usually do not get to spend money my family spends it for me but I have to have good boots

 

Danner makes a good boot. Wore a pair out on one trek. I'm currently using Irish Setter Elk Trackers. They're on their second year and are still in great shape. I'm interested to know if anyone has used any of Kenetrek's line of boots?

 

Danner Mountain Lights here, they are older than most people I know, and fit my feet like a glove. Heavy enough to provide support and will easily take a crampon. Light and comfortable enough to wear all day on the trail. They have a Norwegian welt, so when the sole wears out you just have it replaced.

 

How do the Kenetrek's footing feel on ice?

 

BATA bunny boots in the winter and Kenetrek Mountain Guides in the summer. I also have a pair of Kenetrek Mountain Extreme 1000's but they get cold at -10 or so.

 

The RedWing boots I bought were "custom built" comfortable when I put them on. Of course they discontinued them. Now I got a pair of cheapo Wal-Mart (yeah, yeah....but they sell things no one else for 120 miles sells) "tactical" boots (I buy my work shoes there because they are the only ones that sell what I need) that were instantly comfortable. I have my doubts about 365 use, but the twice a week workout they got for the last few months, they seem like a good buy.

I still have the Browning boots I bought in college and they are still in fine shape, but they are lined boots and too hot for the summer.

 

I only get a year out of a pair if I'm lucky as I wear them every day. I grew tired of expensive Rocky and Danner, so now I wear Herman survivors. Still get a year out of 'em.

 

In the bush Danner Arcadia, Danner Olympic (they have a new name) and for the last several years and 100s of KM Italian Zamberlans. I wear Bates ICBs daily and have no complaint.
