I discovered wool socks the last ten or so years of working….In my opinion, a good pair wool socks is as equally important as a good pair of boots.

For hot weather I have always worn Palladium Pampa Boots.
02352-344-M | PAMPA HI | VETIVER/MID GUM
Adopt a stylish look with our Pampa Hi boot. This sneaker-inspired men's high-top shoe has cotton canvas, dye and washed, create a vintage look and soft feel. The boot is finished with a single-unit molded rubber outsole, offering excellent traction while exploring your city. The EVA-cushioned...palladiumboots.com
Just looked them up. Glad to know they are PETA approved vegan. Wouldn’t want to be caught hunting in non vegan footwear. Lol.

Another fan of KEEN boots for warm weather.
Avoid all boots with insulation or GoreTex.

I am looking for more support than my keens. I am going to try the Rocky sv2 that BeeMaa recommended. I have owned several pairs of keen boots/ shoes. They are prone to falling apart with hard use.

If you are looking for great support, take a look at the Kenetrek Hardscrabble Hiker.
These are what I wear outside of the extreme winter months and love them. They are what I will be wearing when we go over in August.

... or check out the Limmer Lightweights.
I am taking two pair of boots to Africa - my Keens and my all-leather AKUs. And a pair of slip on camp shoes. Hunting in very warm climates i think I'll do better with the more breathable Keens.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
