Hello, new here and love this forum! 

Thought I'd share the boots I've found best.  Salomon Quest 4D GTX.  Hands down best boots I've ever had.  Gortex and lightweight...if you move a lot.  Internet reviews speak for them too....check'em out.  Salomon makes great shoes and boots.

Meindl ultralight, are the best boots Ive ever worn and I have some pricy Lowe's. They handled some mean mountain terrain in the Catskills like it was nothing

Danner Pronghorns are very light, flexible and comfortable.  However, if you hunt rugged or mountainous terrain you'll most likely wish you had opted for a boot that offers more lateral support and is a stiffer than the Pronghorn.  The Meindl boots that Cabelas offers are a really good choice if they fit your foot well.  The Solomon boot would be good as well, but I would want something a little taller.

I too have used Muck boots for years and have loved them, but bought a pair of pronghorns this year for a trip out west.  Like you, I was looking for a boot that I can put some miles on that might function better than the Mucks.  I can tell you that you will not be disappointed with the Danners.  I received mine two weeks ago and have started to break them in on trail walks and chores around the house.  These will not disappoint.  The quality is excellent and the fit and feel are amazing.

Danners have always served me well.

  Danner High Ground are very comfortable also. I wear my mucks in the swampy areas we hunt but up in the hills I like the boots with more support.  I have a pair of Meindl Sheep Hunters and they are outstanding. 15 years old, I hate to retire them. All good choices mentioned here.
