At the same time I was buying my bunch of Danners last year, I also ordered a pair of Meindels from Cabela's and a pair of Lowas from REI, both about 10". There is nothing to complain about on the Meindels, but the Pronghorns are just as comfortable. My favorite is the Lowa, but they were over $400, vs $190 for the Meindels on sale and $54 for the 6" Pronghorns on closeout. So I think I'm set for a while.
