My old boots fell apart on my last scouting trip so im gonna need new boots before archery season. Im looking for a boot with good ankle support and a mid flex sole. I tried on a pair of kenetrek Mountain extreme and similar crispis at sportsman’s warehouse and I liked the ankle support but the sole was too stiff. I live in so cal so I don’t have a place to try them on. Do u guys order different boots and send back the ones u don’t like? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated?

Sounds like you need to go with the Converse All Stars.

I really like my Lowa Tibet boots, but that might be stiffer than what you want, I've used them in warm and cold weather. I've bought quite a few boots on-line, shipped some back and passed some on to my sons, but it is tough when you don't have many options locally. Boots are such a personal preference item it's really nice when you can try them on in-store or if you have time to do the buy-try-send back method - and free returns.

If you like a full height leather boot that’s a little more flexible, Schnee’s Timberlines are nice.
This^^^(for me anyway).
was one of my go to shoes for bmx back in the day. never thought about hunting in them tho.

This. I’m on my second pair after wearing out the first pair.
I just picked up a pair of Schnee's Beartooths. I've ordered and returned multiple different boots over the years, most every boot mfg will let you return as long you only wear them indoors while you figure things out. Order away!

What climate? I'm out in NM and i just picked up a pair of Keen Durand III and they feel amazing. Not sure how well they're going to do in winter and wet but really liked them for summer antelope.
I have purchased a pair of Crispi West River 2 boots. I am going out to Wyoming for a elk rifle hunt Oct 15. These were recommended by the Scheels salesperson. They are 400 gram and while breaking them in I am now concerned that the 400 gram may be to warm. This is my first rifle elk hunt experience in mountains and really not knowing what to expect for weather. Just reaching out for info and what you use for boots. Thanks for your help.

OP didn't say where they were archery hunting. When I hunted X and A Zones in Cali, I wore light Danners. Today I would use trail runners.
