It's like parting with an old friend. But I figured this Christmas, I would ask Santa for a new pair of boots.
This pair has seen me through some tough miles, but at nine years of age, I think it's time to break in a new pair. These are Vasque Sundowners that were made in Italy. Now, they're being made in China. What kind of hiking/hunting boots would you recommend that are all leather and tough? Thanks! Tom

Danner Canadians. Had my pair for 12 years through Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and now Texas. Couldn't ask for a better boot. Customer service with them is great also!

I've had a pair of cabela's brand made by danner boot's for 10years. They have gone to Alaska and some tough hunting here in Texas. I love them and I am like you. It's time to trade them in. I think Danner is the maker of boots for me. They are well worth the price.

I got a pair of AKU (made in Italy) boots this year and wore them elk hunting. They are far and away a step up from Danner pronghorns (which I have two pair of and love them), in regard to support and just being a tougher boot. I would look at the Cabelas Alaskan hunters or the Lowa sheephunters if I were to purchase again, just happen to catch the AKUs on sale.
