I have Altberg (the lightweight waterproof warriors). Very comfortable from the word go and I've had two seasons out of them. They're starting to crack at the flex points now but still are waterproof.

I have a pair of Lundhag Scouts (they're now called Forest) which have already lasted two and a half years of long walks in Hampshire, Dartmoor and Cumbria with little sign of wear. They're a simple shell boot which means no waterproof membrane and rely on a wonderful smelling tin of stuff which comes with them to keep your feet dry. I've worn them through some awful boggy ground with no water getting in. However, the advantage of a shell boot with no liner is that IF they ever do get wet e.g. water over the top when crossing a stream, then they dry much quicker. They're expensive but they're worth it and have been known to last longer than a packet of condoms in a nunnery.

 

Edited to add, as I forgot to mention it above, that they're a lot lighter than Lowa and Meindl too (not sure how they compare to Altberg though). I had a pair of Meindl Dovre once and, although hard wearing and waterproof, my legs were begging to take them off after a day in them. My Scouts aren't quite as light as my Brasher Supalites but they're much lighter than they look...I think they're a tad over 700g per boot.

This one? http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/video_popup.jsp?productId=1622619&scene7Id=PreditorExtreme2013

[Qbgrey 4,091]

No its item number ik-813627.go to footwear.hunting.then insulated. PAC still hunter boots.even the 4oog ones I bought before were warm.watch the sizeing tho they come tight .

[krawnden 1,036]

Whereabouts are you? Did you have to pay customs duty?

[Qbgrey 4,091]

Yes you will pay customs and of course postage.cost me 164 pounds.a bargain compared to the over priced boots we bug here in the UK.wore them last night for hours no sweating feet but still warm and comfy

[krawnden 1,036]

They do have a great selection of boots. I'm very tempted but it's a hell of an outlay if you get the sizing wrong. You said they come tight - d'you reckon you need to order one size bigger than you'd normally wear?

[brucemyster 75]

Bought a pair of Ridgeline warriors and although I've scratched the life out of the leather crashing through brambles whilst beating, they are still waterproof, warmer than wellies and you can walk in them forever.

yes i bought a size 8 last time it was a bit tight but i wore thin socks still warm.ordered a size bigger this time so a 9.we get ripped off here for decent boots.

I have a pair of Lowa Combat gtx and they are like trainers. Nice and light. I use them for hillwalking in the Mournes.

I treat them every so often with Lowa stuff and waterproofer. They can be resoled upto twice I think it is. My next pair of Lowa will be the Hunter's.
