I am in the market for some tall lace up camo turkey hunting boots. Does anybody have some good recommendations for my feet this spring...
Danner pronghorns all the way.
danner jackals for me.more comfortable than a pair of sneakers imo.

Guys I love my muck boots as much as anybody, but didn't you read the post. He wants Lace ups.
Yes they read it just giving their opinions !!!!!
i like the danner also.. even no the muck boots arent lace up they are the most comfortable boots around.. but one complaint. boy the boot is so thin and rips easily
I just bought a pair of Redhead zip up snake boots at Bass Pro on sale for $79. I've never worn boots as soft, the things feel like Nikes. Hopefully they'll hold up.
Been running a pair of Redhead lace up snake boots for years, so these should work out ok. Lots of folks go with the Rockies, but they just don't fit me very well.
another vote for danner pronghorns

this is what i do when i have them on and kill a bird :jackson:
Irish Setter Tamarack boots. Some of the gnarliest treads you'll ever see.
Another vote for Irish Setter. As good as Danner and less money.

I wear the Redhead zippered boots as well. I love them. The zipper is the handiest thing I've ever seen. Super easy on and off. I also like them, because even being non-insulated, on warm days, your feet will get hot. Lots of times, when I set up, I'll just unzip my boots, allowing your feet to breathe some and cool down. Same thing when driving from one area to another. Use mink oil or a similar waterproofer on the leather portions, and a waterproofing spray on the Cordura uppers, and they are as waterproof as any boot I've owned. Neill
I have no complaints about my Danner Pronhorn snake boots!!
Wow the pronghorns are the most used it looks like. I must be the unluckiest person in the world cause I've had 3 pair and they all leaked right out of the box. They rubbed blisters on my heel when new but once they broke in they were comfortable just couldnt wear them walking through grass with dew :character0029: Their customer service is good and sent me prepaid shipping labels. I've switched to hiking boots and will never go back.
I like my Lacross snake boots but i have managed to blow the zipper out after 4 or 5 seasons.
I've been happy with my Danner Pronghorns.
I wish they still made the Danner Jackal Snakeboots with the flat sole. They were very comfortable and you could slip in them like you can in sock feet. The Pronghorns I've got are stiff, and the footbed is comfortable, but you can't feel anything through the sole.

Sorry to hijack, but muck boots do have a lace up model. I bought a pair last year and never took the tags off. They are the whitetail 400. I don't have a real use for them, hard to hunt the swamps of Louisiana with that type of boot. Might as well use flip flops. But they look awesome and are comfortable. Never got to try the danners but would
last spring i bought a pair of Danner pronghorns. ended up returning them 3x before i found a pair that would not leak while walking through wet grass
update on the pronghorns, after running 4 miles in them and walking about 10, I finally got them broke in- they no longer are uncomfortable
Hey boyhowdy, I will send you $5 if you post a video of you running in your pronghorn snake boots! I am sure that was quite a sight! Particularly if you were wearing shorts.

I figured - Hey, they do it in the Army every day --
no shorts, but believe it or not, I did, better to run in them now, than to be on top of a moutain crying about 'em in turkey season- I didn't video it and I'm not smart enough to post one, but for $20 I'll figure it out, for $100 I might do it nekkid
The nekkid thing is DEFINITELY not necessary! :o
I have those same boots and I was just picturing myself running down my neighborhood streets with those suckers on. Too funny. I am surprised you had to break them in as mine felt good right out of the box. Regardless you have some nice boots that you're gonna love for a long time.
I bought a pair of Irish Setter's last year. They are great boots at a great price. I'm so happy I didn't spend the extra $'s for the Danner's.

actually - I was running down a dirt road in a NWR close to my house with camo fatigues on, then a Federal Game Warden rounded a curve in his truck, I thought 'I bet he thinks there's something going on here', but I know the guy and he already knows I'm crazy, and he actually had the same boots and was having the same problem with them pinching the back of his leg, so he probably didnt think much about it.

Danner Pronghorns!! :z-winnersmiley:
Me too! :icon_thumright:
I'll be the Lone Ranger here - still like the Browning Kangaroo leather lace up - the pair I have now are Goretex lined. They are green and not camo, but the snake gators I put over them are camo. The boots are light, comfortable, and water resistant.
My turkey boots a a pair of LaCrosse camo lace-ups (I fotgot the model) I wore them all winter and no leaks. They are uninsulated but kept me pretty warm. Comfortable too..
I have worn the Rockie side sips for 2 years, very light and comfortable. Danner does make a nice boot though.

By far the BEST boot I have ever owned!!!!
My Danner Pronghorns are supposed to be here today. Looked at all types of boots and came to the conclusion that the danners were the best bang for the buck. I found them for $158.00 plus S&H.

never needed to break in my jackals.can't believe there is not more people that wear them!
Russel Moccasin company Turkey Hunter Boots. They are snake boots and give your ankles support. Second pair I have owned. If they didn't lengthen my leg when they put my new hip in I would still have the original pair. They custom built it with a lift in it and couldn't take it out.
I wore a pair of Rocky snake boots out in one season, they are junk with no warranty.
Spend as much as you can afford, your boots are no place to skimp
