Work boots don’t offer the torsional side to side stability I prefer. They also typically don’t come with the stiffness or the sole softness I prefer.
If you just hunt 5 days a year out west get a throw away pair of Merrill, Columbia or Salomons.
If you want a stronger, more supportive, resole-able option. Look at Hanwag, Upper end Lowa, zamberlan, crispi, schnees/gronell, la sportiva, etc. Each one of these Mfg’s lasts differ so your foot may hate or love them, but regardless quality is there, along with different degrees of stiffness.
If you hunt any late season mountain, I in courage you to get a boot that’s atleast semi crampon compatible, not required by any means but even micro spikes can make a frozen packout 10x more enjoyable and safer. Like adding snow/ice chains to your truck
