My son wants to go hunting with me for the first time and I am looking for a pair of boots for him. Figure a 6-8” boot, no insulation.
He wears a size 7.5-8 in men’s but he is growing like a weed, I’d expect him to outgrow the boots within 6-9 months, even if I buy them a little large. With that said, I don’t wanna drop a ton of money on some great boots that he will never wear out. Also don’t want something that’ll fall apart after a few days.
use case: few days of hiking to break them in and get him used to wearing them. For the hunt, we do a base camp style. He will have a small pack for water, snacks, place to stuff a jacket - no major weight. He’s just a spectator/spotter this time around.
I’ve had my danners and kennetrek boots forever, I’m not too familiar with other brands and their quality.
