They're kinda overkill. And top of the line for what they are.

They are hell built for stout to take on steep rough terrain, and sitting in a tree stand or walking the farm ain't rough hunting.

I have some serious mountain boots (Meindl), and I'm thinking most would find them really stiff in the sole. I broke them in around the ADK's backpacking and there isn't really any terrain I needed them for, and that included most of the high peaks around Marcy, saddleback,basin, trap dike trail etc. And took them to New Zealand to hunt/hike where they worked awesome to kick in on some step stuff I have never even seen in the northeast.

If I can figure out some personnel logistics (and we solve this virus for air travel etc), I'm planning a mountain hunt and have tried the insulated (my current boots are not) and they are about as well crafted as any I have ever seen and I'll buy a pair. But like the Meindls, I doubt I'd reach for them for local hunting or would pay the premium for such; and I can afford to buy just about anything I want to hunt.

 

JMO...... YMMV and all that.....
