The best boot I have found for hiking/hunting was the cabelas bonesneaker wading boot. They were lightweight and had more ankle support than any other wader boot I've found. I have a pair I still use but, they are strictly for my moose hunts. I'm a big simms fan and use their waders, boots, and other apparel but, those cabelas bonesneaker boots were perfect for hunting.
If I was buying a new boot I'd be looking at the Simms G3 or freestone but then I'd also give the cabelas hiker 2.0 a look as well.
