cabelas boot question

Cabela's | Meindl Men's Air Active Backpacker Boots. anyone try these boots out?

No but I have a pair of their "Air Active Day Hikers" and have put a lot of miles on them. At first I wondered about them but they are holding up better than a lot of light weight hiking boots out there. The type that I have are no longer stocked but they have a similar type in the catalog.

Hmmm I had 3 pair of those, kept taking them back because they leaked. Super comfy boot, but after 3 months or so they all leaked.

im looking for some boots but don't want to spend more than $300, preferably from cabelas so I can use a gift card. I tried out under armors new boot last year the brow tines, they were comfy but that's about all I liked. im wanting an all leather boot, im walking through tall wet grass every morning in my elk spot in September.

Ivory: I got a pair of Danner Pronghorn on sale for $160.00 (down from $220).
So far I've been impressed with the way they are made, look and feel. I'm still breaking them in.

I'm going on 5 years with my Pronghorns. Like them pretty well. Great value IMHO.

An FYI, any cabelas brand boot is guaranteed for life.

Got the Danner 453, they have a heck of a good bottom in them, can't feel sharp rocks when stepping on them. Wear them 300+ days a year between work (which is outside), and play.

I've had the 453 for about a year and a half and they still feel like new. I'd buy them again without a doubt.

Inside tag says leather upper, rubber bottom, and there gore Tex.

i checked out a bunch of diff today, the 453 and all the Danners I tried on just don't feel right to me. I ended up with some 7 inch meindls perfekt boots, unins. they fit snug and felt good.

Glad you found some that work for you.

with the 453 I couldn't get the boot tight enough to keep my heel in place, did you have that problem?

i really wanted to shop around some more but the cabalas here didn't have a whole lot of the options that they do on line. but i hate waiting the few days to get them just to try them on then send back if i don't like.

I actually bought mine in EE wide. My feet are really wide.
