Rocky cornstalkers seems to be holding up well after two full seasons of rabbit hunting

I used a pair of Crispi Hunter boots last year.  For deer, pheasant, and squirrel hunting.  They were great!  Washed them and conditioned the leather.  They look new again.

 

I liked them so much I also got a pair of the Guide and Nevada.  The main difference between these models is the height.

Don't get irish setters. I got a pair last year.

Lots of maintenance just to keep them water resistant.

But the danner grouse are what I have heard directly from serious upland hunting friends is the best.

Zamberland are also nice.

Thank you I will check them out

When I hunted behind my Brittanies several times a week for grouse and woodcock, I only wore Danner Canadians. That model was 10” high if they still make them (?) and that often meant the difference between wet and dry feet at the end of the hunt. Woodcock especially live near wet areas.

Whichever brand you decide on, fill the tub as high as the boot allows and try them out before wearing them.  You might be surprised how many upland boots are not really 100% waterproof.

The bottom of Rocky boot started falling apart a long time ago well before everything else started being made like crap.

Put leather conditioner on your boots in off season the biggest issue with boots is I'd they are not worn they become brittle
