What are you wearing for boots?

I wore Irish setter soft paw chukkas, the model without the waterproof membrane, and loved everything but the sole, which was a little too hard and noisy. A softer rubber sole, like a crepe sole or nonchunky vibram sole, would make it a perfect boot.

I have had a lot of luck with Keen brand shoes. Very comfortable and durable. I Just ordered another pair for my trip to Africa next year. You can view them at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004KKZ4KC/...M2T1_ST1_dp_i1

Palladium Pampa - Cheap, simple, good!

I've used Merrell Moab mid hikers for the last two years. Good protection, comfortable, and very QUIET. I used to use Danners in Oregon, but the Merrells are much more appropriate for me in South Africa.

A lot to be said for the good old Bata "Vellie!"

I took the same boot to South Africa this year. They're fantastic!. Indeed very comfortable and lightweight. It seems many African hunters wear a low cut hiker. I'm personally not a fan of these becasue they provide no ancle support. All it take is one wrong move to twist and sprain an ancle to ruin a trip, and so I prefer a high boot which provides much more support.

seriously if you dont like them ill pay for them...

If you like the Blundstone boots you should try the Aus made "Victor" Mongrel boots. Same slip on type but way more comfortable. I normally use a pair a half size smaller than my usual size without the inner soles until they mould to my feet.
For Africa and warm Aus conditions I use these "Victor's" (also everyday for work) and more so Courtney Safaris on the hunts.

I have used Danner uninsulated Pronghorn boots a few times in South Africa and find them to be light, tough and very comfortable.
