I am going to be in the market for new boots, and I am trying to decide what to do. I could either buy a simple pair of hiking boots for UA for now and buy a nice pair of high end boots when I am closer to my elk hunt in 2020 or hold off a bit longer and buy the nice boots now in hopes that they would hold up enough through the next few years to hunt with in 2020. I live on flatland, so I don't need a true mountaineering boot to train. But, I don't know if it is worth the extra $150 that i would spend on cheaper boots to save a good pair for my hunt. Have any of you guys ever bought a pair of boots just to train and had a pair dedicated just to hunting?
Be gentle, I am new to hunting anything other than Texas and don't know how hard I'll be on boots in the mountains.
