Like John, I too was at the door of Courtneys once in Zimbabwe..Didn't buy them.. perhaps I should have.. ???

For the past 6 years or so I have worn Kenetrek's.. their shop is local but is sold around the country..very popular.. fairly expensive, but they have never failed me.. Wear the shorty HARDSCRABBLE early in the year for bowhunting.. or early season pronghorn, elk, deer, bear and even pheasant..

Later in the year I wear the insulated tall version.. Mountain Extreme 400 insulated version

Both are, for my feet, extremely comfortable and water proof..my feet stay blister free, dry and in colder weather, warm.. I wore the Mountain Extreme 400 last year elk hunting in -10F weather chasing elk, they did great..

Customer service is fantastic --and the owners are avid hunters...

Would take a lot for me to go elsewhere..
