The boots arrived and after removing them from the package I immediately noticed how light weight they were, but extremely well made. I was concerned about the design due to the rigid looking exterior. I decided to wear them for one full day inside my home as not to damage the product in case i needed to return due to sizing issues. After two hours of wearing it was apparent that the boots became more comfortable and like a friend had told me, "they start to feel like you have that comfortable pair of tennis shoes, like an old friend". Now I am not going to say that the break in period will be immediate, and the company gives directions on breaking in. Also I purchased their Kenetrek waterproofing boot wax after seeing their warning to not use mink oil or any other type of waterproofing. I am not the typical consumer since I have been in several accidents which altered my right foot and ankle. This brand and boot style exceeds my expectations and comfort and I have decided that the boots are too nice to wear at work and they will be exclusive to hiking/hunting and when I am on snow removal operations. THANK YOU KENETREK ! I cannot wait to get my next pair on non-insulated this next Spring 2023~!
I anguished over what new boot to buy after my old favorites (mendles) wore out. I am a large guy who spends a ton of time hiking and hunting. I need good support due to aging ankles, knees etc.I gave these a shot. Wow. Extremely comfortable out of the box. Perfect support and I consider them an upgrade to my previous favorites. Traction seems great.Insoles are adequate for average person, however I will be upgrading. Laces and hooks are great. I am between an 11.5 and 12 with dinners and Keens. Got the 12m and they fit perfectly with hunting socks. Expensive but seem with it to me.Very happy with this purchase3/20/2023 update: Be careful walking down wooden stairs, deck, wooden bridges...any treated, weathered decking. Especially if it is looking green from algae. Or think of those little wooden bridges you sometimes run across when out hiking state forests. You are taking your life into your own hands!!!. You can climb a 90 degree mountain slope with extreme confidence in these boots. But try walking down wooden deck steps that are damp with morning dew...and you risk life and limb!
took a bit to break in, but they are great for stomping through the muddy woods
Excellent boot, with great ankle and arch support for climbing mountains and walking across uneven surfaces like tundra, creek streams, etc.
Bought these for an upcoming hunt out west. Still getting them broke in but have roughly 20 miles on them during this hunting season. I have extremely flat feet and use orthotics but there is plenty of room in them even for my wide flat feet the insoles and thick socks. I'm very happy with this purchase and may buy another pair with more insulation.
These are the nicest, most comfortable boots I have ever owned. Hiked over 40 miles in them last week. I love the high support!
Best boots all i can say. Great for walking in sand dunes & rough mountain terrain.
I spent the fall and summer scrambling for new boots once I realized my old pair were killing my feet.I'm a big guy but get out and walk during game seasons. I was able to put many a mile on these boots on uneven ground. The sole makes them far superior to any other boot I've worn. I'd have never been able to hunt as hard as I did this year without them. They are far and away the best boot I've worn.The only downside is that the stiff sole makes traction on wet ground a bit treacherous. I can't feel when I'm standing on a stick under wet grass like I could on the old boots. So you need to pay more attention to where you are going or standing on.
