Elk hunting boots

[Pioneerboy99]

What would be a good pair of boots to wear in Utah in late September?

I personally love my Shnees Hunter II for when It will be wet (or snow) outside. I found a used pair for like 75% of retail.

I’ve been using merrel Nova 3’s
Or lows Zephyrs, which are much stiffer

A plus 1 for lows Zephyrs

The Hanwag makra line has been my favorite. All very lightweight and a couple different stiffnesses depending on what you like.

you really need to determine if you're someone who likes stiff boots or noodles. From there you can really hone in on the boots for you. You can get 10 responses from guys on here but theres some that like stiff and some that like noodles.

I'm a stiff boot guy because my opinion is that in our steep terrain here in Idaho, the stiff boot keeps your foot muscles from getting as fatigued for long days and you've got way better protection against rolling an ankle. It does take more trial and error to get a stiff boot that works for your foot without issues. I personally love the Scarpa Ribelle lite with a cushioned insole for the last two years.
