I've worn Danner Pronghorn snakeboots for several years, but if I am hunting where snakes are not an issue, I wear a cooler, uninsulated boot. I tried a couple of different ones and picked up a pair of uninsulated boots from Cabelas in their brand and they are extremely lightweight and comfortable and a lot cheaper than most boots. They fit and feel just like Danners and I am not so sure that Danner is not the manufacturer
