Early season elk boot question

[gostovp]

How many of you wear taller, stiffer (and albeit heavier) uninsulated leather boots in earlier Sept? Think Kennetrek Mountain Extreme, Hoffman Explorer 8’s, Lowa Tibet GTX Hi, Schnees Beartooth or Granite, Crispi Guide, etc… if you find one that fits well are you wearing them when it’s warmer?

Schnees uninsulated or crispi uninsulated, both great options

Buddy has run beartooths the last two September's and they have treated him well. I grabbed a pair of Beartooths last October and will be running them this year.

For what it's worth, I initially had some pressure issues at the toebox flex point, but I have gotten that mostly managed. The only other issue is they put some side pressure when doing extreme side hilling. They are not as stiff for digging in on those side hills compared to the Lowa Tibets i ran the last couple years.
