Thanks Brit. I have been using the Danner Pronghorns for few years now, great boots, problem is they only last one year, and the stiching is torn loose. Danner had been giving me a new pair under warranty, but that has run out now. They are recommending that I try the Hood Winter lights, they claim they are a much more durable boot and they are rebuildable. I love my Danners and would like to try a pair, but would like some feedback before I spend that kind of money.
