So after reading through another footwear thread, and seeing the same things over and over and over, coming away no wiser than before, let's ask another question- where should I go to try on boots and get help finding the right fit? I've never had help picking a pair of boots, or anything I would call a "buy it for life" boot.
Thinking I want one boot for all hunting seasons in Montana (first full year in the state), probably a 10". I have a pair of Asolo hikers and knee-length gaiters, but I don't think they're enough for the country out here (ankle support, etc).
I live in Billings, but I'm willing to drive a ways. The local Scheels has Crispi and Kenetrek, Scnees and REI over in Bozeman have a bit different selection. What else should be on my radar? Where can I get the right kind of help on this?
Or does everyone just order something in their size, try it, and sell it if they don't like the fit?
