All leather outside. I once wore a pair that were partially fabric. The thorns tor them to pieces. They went from newish to rubbish in 15 days in the bush.
Pick a good pair of leather boots that fit you and make sure that they are well broken in before your hunt. Nothing magic about a particular brand of boot. Danner boots worked for me, but there are a lot of brand out there.
Jim Green Ranger's in Cape Buffalo. Just returned in May from a Cape Buffalo hunt in Limpopo area of SA. Performed flawlessly, wore them every day of an 18-day adventure. No blisters... just bliss!
I wear a pair of Red Wing Chukka boots for SA I've had no issues with thorns there or here I TX with them. However, not sure they still make that specific boot.
My last two hunts…. I decided to give away my boots at the conclusion of the hunt. Trackers footwear in TZ tends to be pretty marginal. A pair of boots is a wonderful gift and will really be appreciated.
I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
