G'Day Vergard_Dino,

It all depends on where you will be Walking or Climbing whilst Hunting,

If you are alpine mountain hunting with a mix of both flat country walking and climbing, I'm biased as I like and have worn out 2 pairs of Italian, "Scarpa SL" boots. They are all leather, my third pair are a couple of years old now but I see the latest version of these seem to have been made to be more for climbing than walking (That need to be confirmed by some one else that knows more about them than I). They seem to have less flex in the sole so as to give your feet more support when climbing. What ever you do, don't purchase climbing boots and then take them bush walking as they wreck your feet. They don't have enough flex in the sole, for constant walking.

I once had an NZ alpine hunting guide tell me, the Italians make the best boots!
I imagine he would know, as he used to wear out a pair every season (in 6 months)!
