Probably did you a favor. They can and are sold here, and I can tell you they do not last 2 weekends in pheasant cover. Worse boots ever. I was lucky - I got my money back.

True enough, lightweight and a pleasure to walk in, wear out way faster than a cheap pair of socks. The soles on the pair I had were suitable for sidewalks on a dry day, nothing more challenging. It is hard to find good pheasant hunting boots these days.

I've been wearing Meindl boots for a while now. I'm very happy with them. A friend likes the more expensive Crispi boots. A high rubber rand seems to be crucial to long wear and moccasin toe construction is pretty much incompatible with hunting in decent cover of any type. There are a lot of boots sold as upland hunting boots with totally inadequate tread as well. I have no idea why they do that.
