I thought it was a brilliant idea for early bow season down south. Chiggers and fire ants convinced me to only try it one time.

I have been backpacking in a Solomon X Ultra Mid 2 GTX and really like them. They are waterproof and tough, super light too. Not 7", but give them a look. I will probably hunt in mine this year when I don't want to wear mucks.

Midway USA has a size 12 Danner High Ground uninsulated blemished for 113. They show 2.8 pounds per pair, just FYI.

Re: Lightweight boot suggestions

Don't get Vaprtrek. They don't hold up good

Personal experience?

Yes... tread wears out fast and the synthetic mesh part started to tear up. And they never were really waterproof to begin with.

Exactly what I read in reviews, I need something as light as them though

curious why the need for super light boots? I really like my redwing uninsulated leather boots, not sure how heavy they are but never considered them to be heavy. And they are tough

What's the need for a light gun or light clothes. Walking miles in 4lb boots vs 2.5lb boots makes a big difference to us old farts at the end of the day.

Light boots are seriously easier on my knees. I know it's sounds silly, but it makes a big difference after a long day.

Re: Lightweight boot suggestions

Were they help me is my hips after walking a lot in them. Heavy ones wear my hip flexers out. I run a lot as well and just use to light shoes. Makes me feel lighter and faster getting around and can go longer without getting tired

Re: Lightweight boot suggestions

I think i may try the Danner Steadfast. for $69 its worth my hope they fit and work out I guess. they are 3.25lbs not 3.5 so they are not much heavier then the others out there. was looking for some under 3lbs but seems that is hard to find these days and them being worth the money.

or these as well. Will have to try and decide i guess. These are 1 lb lighter which is a lot really. they also have a lifetime warranty from Cabelas which makes them intriguing

I just ordered a pair. If they don't fit or I don't like them you have 90 days to return so figured why not.
