Thank you for the info. I live in San Luis Obispo county and unfortunately we really don’t have any stores that will carry any of those brands. Even for my work boots I have to order a couple pair to see what fits best. Then send the boots I don’t want back.Lowa, Kennetrek, Scarpa, and Crispi are some the the popular ones. GoHunt has a good write up and explanation on different types of boots. You really need to try on boots to see how they fit the shape of your foot. I run a non waterproof, 8” all leather boot that is very stiff because I’m hiking off trial in desert lava rock. Check out a local hiking store they should have someone that can actually fit you to boots. Also get proper socks, and sock liner.
If you wear work boots regularly you should have a good idea about your feel for larger toe box, width, etc... a lot can be fixed with an insole as well. I’d look at GoHunts sizing guide and watch videos on the boot you’re interested in.Thank you for the info.

I bought a pair of Danners Explorer 650 hikers for that and the otc archery hunt in CO this year. Leather upper with rips top side panels and no insulation. Gore-Tex tho. Comfortable and no break-in right out of the box. Unfortunately you just missed the Danner 35% of sale. There’ll be another soon probably tho.
Depends on if you need insulation. I wear one pair of boots year round. I don’t do much flatland stuff, so I wear a fairly supportive backpacking boot.Am I asking to much out of a pair of boots?

I've personally been using the Zamberlan 966 Saguaro GTX that is uninsulated. I'm not sure sure how far Carlsbad is from where you are but Zamberlan's store is there so they should have a place to try on their boots. They have a different sizing chart which can be confusing but it's explained fairly well. I normally wear a 10.5 in US sizes and the conversion was telling me to order a 10 in US and they fit like a glove.Looking for recommendations on a good pair of hunting/hiking boots. I’m in CA and will be hunting D8 & A zones this year so I plan on doing a lot of work on foot.
