Stalk Boots

[buck460XVR]

You must be stalking in flat land, because you would bust A** in steep country in the Russells. In the Mountains of East Tennessee I have to have a strong lugged boot with firm ankle support in order to stalk and even then it's more of a "controlled" fall if you know what I mean.

...and this goes to show what many of these posts to the OPs question are trying to tell him. That like firearms or hunting techniques themselves, no one boot/shoe is the best for every situation and part of the country. Sheesh, there are times in the Tamarack swamps of Wisconsin when my stalking boots are a pair of chest waders. Part of being a knowledgeable hunter is knowing what kind of equipment works best for different situations. Asking for suggestions is a good thing, but till one goes out and walks a day or two in their hunting scenario, will they know if those things on their feet was a wise choice.

All acceptable choices submitted herein; but don't overlook the amazing technology (waterproof, arch support, proper lace trace, etc.) in top shelf hiking boots/shoes. Amazon.com is a solid start for reviews as is backcountry.com. Keen, Merrill, and Vasque have had my vote two combat deployments. If waterproof is not essential, Lowa can't be beat; bad SW Asia desert, rock, sand...light as a running shoe and equally comfortable.
