Thread: What kind of boots for NZ?

This is like asking what's the best calibre!
But for me if I am carrying any weight then I am on my 3rd set of meindls and can't fault them. Had 2 island pros now the Dovre lows and they are the business.
If you are summer hunting with not much weight on your back then Selewas are good. Just not water proof when walking through wet tusocks for hours. Plus side being that they are not leather and dry out quickly

I may have only spent three weeks there but I learned enough to know that a 308 or 30-06 has never been able to kill anything more than a small rabbit. You need a 6.5XYZ to be a real hunter

Joe reality check - in the last month in the North Island more deer and pigs will have been shot by local hunters wearing buller short gumboots or red band short gum boots than any thing else - good enough for us
