[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4720697, member: 1409"] I highly respect you two's opinions on hunting clothing & footwear, so maybe I've been overlooking something here with the Salomon brand. As we speak, I'm about ready to drop a small fortune on some Kenetrek [u]non-insulated[/u] leather hiking boots. Still not certain as to which version, but at least at present, "sold" on their replacing my worn out Meindl Alaskan Hikers. The Meindl Alaskans have been great, but after 4 years, and being resoled once, they're about shot. Have also been considering the Lowa Tibet GTX Hiking boots which are very similar to the old Meindl Alaskan Hikers (that particular Meindl non-insulated version no longer made). I may be way off here, but seems the Kenetrek line is the better choice? Lastly, I have very wide feet, which has been a problem, not just because I find it difficult to find boots wide enough, but also because I experience worse side-to-side rotation on rough terrain, necessitating a more rigid boot with better ankle support (typically boots designed to use crampons). Any thoughts anyone is willing to share, I'm all ears. I'm wanting a quality leather boot, at least 9" tall, [i]NON[/i]-insulated, preferably available in 10 1/2 to 11 EEE or wider sizes, as have often had to get a half-size or size larger boot just to get a good fit on the width.
