Happened to be in Bozeman the other day and stopped by Schnee's to try on some boots. I had originally planned on getting the beartooth booths, but also tried on the granite which is stiffer.
I hunt primarily in Idaho spending a lot of time side hilling and going up and down between Hells Canyon and also the sawtooth wilderness. I primarily hunt these areas mid to late season. Early season is rare and I wear Salomon boots for that.
Is the stiffer boot generally worth it when spending time in the mountains or is the tradeoff not worth it? I know it is somewhat unique to the person, but wanted to get some feedback to try to make the right decision the first time.
