I picked up some Irish Setter Chukkas in kangaroo leather from Cabelas for my hunt in Zimbabwe last year. They are very comfortable and rugged. I recommend them highly. They were about $135.00 or so. I couldnt afford Russell Boots, although they are considered the best by most folks. My boots are lightweight too. Also, be sure to get some TexasHuntCo gaiters. They slip over the top of these boots and are a real lifesaver. This worked out to be an ideal combo for cool lightweight trekking in the Zambezi Valley.
