Burtess Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I am looking for a light weight hunting style boot, little or no insulation for spring / summer / fall bushwacking. When I was in my late teens (late '80's) I had a pair of Kodiak Wilderness Boots. They were super light weight and had just a small amount of insulation, they had very flexible soles and were very comfortable. This is what I am looking for. I have looked at the Danner Jackal II (not much tread on these) and the Irish Setter Upland DSS, both are around 40oz. Also I have seen some Redhead boots that are very light weight but I don't know if the quality is up there with the other Brand names? I am sure Cabelas has some self branded boots that would fit the bill but being no where near a store makes it difficult to evaluate from just a description. Any other suggestions? Thanks, Burt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkpie Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Redhead brand mainly crap. I bought a pair of uniform boots for spares, and they leaked like a seive, also bought a pair of their hunting boots, also leaked like mad for supposedly waterproof boots!

jedimaster Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I have a pair of irish setters and a pair of red heads. I like both of them. the red heads are older now and are gortex, never leaked for me and did just fine for about 4 or 5 years, lots of km's on them. The Setters I have are the 2000 gram thinsulate ones, not light and heavily insulated, so I couldn't comment on those for you but they have been pretty good thus far.

NBR Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 LL Bean Maine Hunting Shoe. Rubber bottoms leather tops dry and not overly warm. I've worn them for over 40 years bird hunting. Be sure to get the insoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to get the insoles. X2 , maybe not the best on uneven ground though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
