| I used them in Zimbabwe on more than one hunt...they work fine but the sole fell off mine. Thank God I bought them at Cabelas because they replaced them. Danner told me to Piss off!

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!! 'What the hell could possibly go wrong?'

| I had the same repsonse form Danner with soem boots as well Roscoe, I was told by Danner that the model I had, Sequoia, does not have a replaceable sole. Then I took my boots to David Page in Fremont in Seattle and the same folks who retread all those Birkenstocks resoled my Danners perfectly. When I told Dave that Danner said it couldn;t be done, he just shook his head and saidm, "When would you like to pick them up?"

| For the most the terrain is no different in Africa than it is at home. The only really different ground I have ever trekked on a hunt is fissured tundra and there is none in Africa. Take a pair of boots you're comfortable in now.

| There's nothing wrong with hunting in your Pronghorns or any higher boot. I tend to recommend low top, all leather boot when asked. I've ran several thorns through synthetic portions of boots like yours over the years (Everything in Texas and Africa has thorns), it's not a good thing when that happens. I'm partial to Courteney boots and will not leave home without a pair. |

| After a bit of thought I'm just going to take my Danner Elk Hunters from Cabela's again. I've worn this style of Danner boot since I was 19 and I'm on my third pair. Wore out three sets of soles on the previous two pair before the leather gave out.
I have desided to try Cabela's Cool-Max socks in Namibia this time as they seem much more comfortable in warm weather than Smart-wool. I think socks are VERY important and may be a consideration that some overlook when selecting footwear for hunting. I also recommend that you bring a couple of pairs of super thin poly-pro liner socks incase you develop "hot spots". I found that my feet tend to swell a bit in very warm weather and can change the way boots "interact" with my feet in a negative way. |
