    I'm looking for some boots to where archery hunting early to mid season. I would like to spend less than $150. Tell me what you wear or love.

    Danners. american made, comfortable out of the box, light weight and will last and last and last. you could probably find some on sale for around 150 - 175.

    Not all of them anymore. Some of them are now made in China. Same as Lacrosse boots. Very sad deal!!

    I went with KEEN last year and was very happy with them. You can find them for around $130.00. The link is the pair I went with. going on my second year and still waterproof.

    Decidedly NOT in love with the Danner Jackal II and I don't think it's a USA boot.

    LL Bean, If it is a chilly morning carry a pair of Arctic Shield's and put over the Bean's as soon as settled in the stand.

    Great air flow, very natural feel, can get a little tricky in the dark.[​IMG]
