I know there are several posts about hutning boots, but most of them end up with the guy buying a $400 pair of Kenetreks or some foreign brand.
I purchased a pair of Lacrosse Buckmasters for $39.99 (Smith and Edwards clearance sale) 5 years ago and I have put 100s of miles on them and they still have life in them. Infact, they are still in decent shape, but leaking a little now. They were awesome boots and I would buy another pair if they still made them.
So now I'm looking for another pair of good boots, but I'm not going to spend $300-$400. I would like to stay around $100, and there are plenty of good boots out there for that price. I have been looking at the Irish Setter boots the most, but there are so many brands I'm not sure what to get.
I do a lot of hiking in rough terrain and snow during the spring. So I'm looking for a good insulated boot (400-800 gr) but still pretty light. Other than that, tons of hiking in summer and fall. You know what's up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
