20 Best Hunting Boots For Mountains (2023 Updated)

Background: I’m a utility plant operator/millwright. 12 hour shifts of combined indoor/outdoor work. Timberland, Red Wing, Doc Martens, Carolina, and most recently Wolverines. I’ve tired and worn multiple pairs of them all.

All have worked well enough but I’m always seeking my perfect boot. Now for the Kenetrek Hardscrabble ST I purchased these boots online through Baker’s Boots and Clothing 5 Stars for initial quality.

Will follow up with long term review. My feet feel locked into these boots. Somehow they manage to give a ski boots worth of support without restricting flexibility or feeling cumbersome. Comfort is great, build quality seems excellent.

I do notice a loss of traction when indoors on wet, epoxy coated warehouse flooring but I don’t believe these boots are rated as “non slip” so I cant hold that against them. I have high hopes for these boots and so far feel confident they will perform great.

I am an avid outdoorswoman with a pesky foot with plantar fasciitis which in turn means I am picky when it comes to boots for hunting. It is common for long hikes in remote locations to get away from other hunters.

I bought these boots based on a review I found online. These boots run true to size, I found this out after wearing them for a short hike and they were just a little bigger than I liked. I had ordered 1/2 size larger based on a phone conversation with Kenetrek, and have since ordered my original size 7.

The price tag is a little steep but when you compare this to a lesser quality boot that will need replaced more often the Kenetrek boot seems like the way to go. I definitely recommend them. I am only giving four stars due to the interaction I had with the phone conversation and specifically asking if they run true to size.

It all worked out fine and my niece got a smoking deal on a 7 1/2 boot.

Updating after a full 16 months or so of heavy use – I think I logged close to 300 miles in these things. The folding issue I mentioned below stopped after about a year, but the sides are now folding and I’m starting to get blisters on the balls of my feet, and even just got some on the side after completing Wilson Peak, Mt.

Wilson, and El Diente in the San Juans of Colorado, which has never happened before. I think they’ve just worn out – they’re much lighter and thinner than my Vioz GTXs, which is a good thing, but at the same time, I think that impacts their durability.

These boots are still amazing and very comfortable – and they would probably last longer for someone doing more casual hikes. I have used them almost exclusively on very rugged 14ers (I think I’ve done about 20-25 of them in this pair alone, plus 50 miles in Glacier in July 2021).

So I think I’m gonna go back to the Vioz GTXs and just buy a new pair. Those are such heavy things but I never once got a blister in them so I trust them more. **** I love Zamberlan boots and wanted desperately to give this 5 stars, but I’m experiencing some issues with this pair.

First, the pros: The vibram sole is super grippy and seems to be much more durable than the type found on my previous pair, the Zamberlan Vioz GTX’s The ankle and arch support is phenomenal. Every time I’ve come close to rolling an ankle, the boot’s structure seems to keep things in check.

The bottoms of my feet feel great even after 10+ mile slogs. They are much lighter than the Vioz’s and the craftsmanship feels superb. You can cruise through scree, sharp rocks, boulder fields, anything a 14er might throw at you, and trust you’ll be fine.

Alas the cons: Going uphill, they feel perfect. But going downhill, the boot must fold in such a way that it makes contact with the top of my foot an inch or two below the base knuckle of my big toe – and it hurts quite a bit.

Zamberlan boots don’t typically require a break-in period, and I’ve worn these on at least 4 hikes, and probably 40-50 miles, and it’s still happening. I worry it’s going to be a permanent thing. I wear thick Darn Tough socks (the best out there) for hiking, and still seem to be experiencing discomfort.

I’m going to keep at it with these boots and hope the downhill issue goes away, but if not, it could mean going for a different pair much sooner than expected, which would be a real shame as these are pricey.

Zamberlan has surpassed my wildest hopes and dreams with this boot. I purchased these to guide a 45 day backpacking trip in the Brooks Range of Alaska. I went with the 1110 Baltoro Lite GTX RR to replace my worn out pair of Zamberlan 996 Vioz GTX boots, hoping to to shave significant weight while retaining unparalleled ankle support, aggressive tread, and durability.

I was extremely impressed; these boots stood up to the brutally demanding terrain of off-trail travel through the Brooks. The Perwanger leather and generous tough rubber rands withstood beatings from rock and gravel bar walking, thick willow brush, and sharp talus, all while constantly soaked from frequent river crossings.

Rain, snow, ice, or shine, the tread provided excellent, dependable traction. The lacing system of these is easy, secure, and reliable with the tough laces and hardware. As a wilderness backpacking guide, I have seen other big brands’ boots succumb to the rigors of the tough terrain of the tundra.

From my experience with these (lightweight) tanks I cannot recommend them highly enough!.

These boots are an excellent boot for any avid outdoorsman. I live in Northern New York and hunt in all conditions. Being diabetic my feet always would get. not now with these boots. Been in water,snow,ice etc and feet are warm.

As for the fit. bought my size(11) and perfect fit. Yes they are a big boot but any outdoorsman knows that warmth and comfort are more important than looks. But in my opinion they are a good looking boot as well.

I bought the black and love them. I will buy another pair or two. Highly recommend these boots.

These boots are extremely comfortable, however I’ve only worn them inside my home. I bought them for an upcoming moose hunt in the Northwest Territories. I have worn them up and down our stairs, and they don’t rub, and are very comfortable.

I have had these for 2 hunting seasons now and they are fairly comfortable boots but they definitely are not waterproof. Water resistant at best, they do soak through when walking in wet grass.

I have loved Rocky hunting boots for many, many years and these, after two days in the woods, are no exception. Very comfortable and surprisingly light weight.

Purchased my first pair in 2018, they were using the outdry membrane at the time and it didn’t hold up to the weather. Schnees promptly replaced them. This time with the sympatex. They thrived for 3 years until my lack of leather conditioning caught up and the leather cracked pretty bad in multiple flex points.

I’m on my third pair now and I’m hoping they make it much longer than the last two. Only thing I’m slightly disappointed with on this pair is they stopped using the lace locking hardware. Laces seem to hold well with the new boots but only time will tell.

The one thing that made me hesitate to give 5 stars has been the online customer service so far in 2023. I’ve made 5 attempts to reach out with various questions in the last 8 months and only received a single response.

I sure hope they get their act together in this department because Schnees is my favorite boot manufacturer by far. I have several pairs of their boots and there’s still a few on my list. But I value customer service above all else.

I bought the timberline to be a hill country and upland hunting boot. I called to verify the size and was asked about my everyday footwear and what worked for me. Was told based on Nike shoes being narrow and preferring New Balance and Asics that I should go with a 14 wide.

You guys were right, perfect fit! One feature I wasn’t aware of before ordering is that the 5th eyelet on the boot folds over and locks in the laces on the lower foot portion. This really allows you to either secure your foot and ankle nice and tight for steep terrain or slightly looser if you prefer a fit like that! Everything else on the boot looks and feels like premium quality.

Based on all the other reviews i’m sure this boot will last a very long time!.

I bought these for my Colorado elk hunt. I didn’t receive my boots in time to break them in prior to my hunt so I toughed it out and broke them in over a week and a half in the mountains. The break in was not as painful as I thought it might be.

Sizing seemed to be accurate. If any short coming could be mentioned one would be the insoles. They seemed to not be as cushioned as was expected. The durability, support, traction, and waterproofness was outstanding.

I found myself intentionally walking on rocky surfaces to test them and was not disappointed in their toughness. The roller eyelets and lace locking feature was equally outstanding.

Hunt mostly in the Northeast Adirondack and Catskills mountains. Heavy snow and tough terrain that is hard on boots ( Rocky’s couldn’t handle it fell apart). I have been wearing Throughgood Fire Fighting boots on wild land fires for better than 30 years.

They are tough American made boots. These Hunting boots are imports but seen to have the same tough backbone of my Fire boots. Second Hunting season for these boots coming up. Early bow started yesterday but too warm for these guys.

I will revisit this review after this season. But with one season under foot with little to no break in and warm feet on a few -20 Adirondack mornings I have nothing but good to say. Very pleased all around.

Love the boots all around and they fit ok, I have a EEE width foot and they are plenty snug. Hopefully with a little time they relax a bit. They are very warm I’ve been ice fishing in them and do prefer them over my Mickey Mouse boots.

Side note, because of the width I’ve been wearing the thinnest dress socks I own with them and it’s plenty my feet actually over heat on the way to the lake so I’ve taken to waiting until I get to where I’m going before putting them on.

They are that warm!.

I haven’t had the opportunity to try them yet, not cold enough here in Wisconsin for them. They are wide and a tad heavy (not recommend for extended periods of walking). Seem to be well made

I do like these boots, but, in my opinion they just really lack insoles. They have them, but they seem very thin and so therefore would not make good boots for wearing for long periods of time. My feet started to hurt after around an hour.

I understand that you could always buy thicker insoles, but you really shouldn’t have too. Otherwise, I like the color and how the boots look. Comfort is the most important issue when it comes to foot wear.

Wanted a lightweight, comfortable and waterproof boot that would look the part of a work boot on an outdoor construction site, without all the clunkiness of a traditional work boot. Overall, I used these for about 4-5 months straight.

I average about 4-6 miles/day in muddy and rocky conditions, in addition to a healthy amount of rebar climbing. I put boots through the ringer. Comfort/Weight. I found them to be very comfortable, and they feel even lighter than they weigh.

I attribute this largely to the material the soles are made of, which is much lighter than most rubber soles I’ve found. Since the weight savings is on the bottom of the foot, which is usually the heaviest part, I felt as though the difference was more pronounced.

The soles are also fairly flexible, which I find to be a good feature when traversing rough terrain. Waterproofness: These were waterproof for me for a couple of months until a large bit of welding slag melted through the nylon upper above the toe box.

Other than that hole, which was clearly my own fault, they remained waterproof for another month or so. I’ve found this to be more or less on par with pretty much any waterproof boot I’ve worn in these conditions.

Durability: Herein lies the major downside to the light material that the soles are mad out of: they wore down rather quickly. Now, if you’re using these boots only on hunting trips, I don’t think that would be a problem unless you put on tons of miles and get to hunt more than a week or two.

But, no matter who you are, you probably won’t get more than a couple seasons out of these even with sparing use, unless you really don’t cover many miles at all. Verdict: I’d consider buying these for a western hunt if I wanted a tall, waterproof boot.

The lack of durability is a trade-off for being one of the lightest hunting boots on the market, and I doubt there are other boots in the same weight class with significantly more durability. Weight, and the benefits that come along with not having a lot it, are a primary deciding factor for me.

Plus they’re super comfortable right out of the box and don’t break the bank.

I’m on my 3rd month wearing these boots. 90% of the terrain is wooded with soft dirt, leaf litter and some mud. 10% is gravel road. The soles of these boots are already worn down and offer no grip on any terrain.

The waterproofing wore away and my feet get soaked, the nylon eyelets are starting to wear through and overall the longevity is not what I’ve experienced in the past with Danner. Having said that, these boots are very comfortable right out of the box and remain comfortable as the rest deteriorate.

I’ve never had a boot that didn’t last at least one season, these will be the last pair of Danner boots I buy.

Only reason these boots get 2 stars is because they are comfortable right out of the box. These boots did not keep my feet dry with what I consider minimal use. They went through a 10 day elk hunt, 3 days in Wyoming and not even 7 days of Western Oregon late season archery hunting and my feet were soaked almost all day while chasing elk.

The tread wore down pretty fast as well but, I would have at least made them a Sept. elk hunting boot if they kept my feet dry. The last pair of boot I bought for a similar price, different manufacturer, lasted 3 years of lots of miles on the.

before they started leaking. I prefer to shop local and Danner has always had a name for themselves but, I am extremely disappointed in these boots. Now I’m second guessing buying Danner again.

I purchased this boot in November 2021 based on input from friends who owned them and my personal experience with other Danner products. I ordered them them 1 full size larger and wider based on other reviews stating they ran a little small.

I usually wear a 10 1/2 or 11 wide. I went with a 12 wide. A little big. 11 – 11 1/2 tops would of been a little better choice for me as I walk a lot. I water proofed the boots with Danner water proofing spray.

Boots were very comfortable. I took a risk and wore them every day on my Elk hunt in Colorado without first breaking them in. No issues, no blisters. Feet kept warm and dry. The boot is definitely lighter in weight than the older version doing a side-by-side comparison.

I like that. This quality boot wont disappoint.

I have an older pair of the same boot, there is no comparison. The older boot has better cushion than these. This new pair is hard and not very comfortable. The old pair is warmer too. I would rather they charge more than to cheapen the boot.

I’d still be wearing the old pair except after at least 10 years the rubber is starting to pull away and they are no longer water proof. Very disappointing.

At first, this boot fits very snug. You’ll see other reviews about a narrow toe box. And after 100 plus miles hiked, they’re still tight in the toes. I went to a light weight Darn tough hiking sock and that gave me some relief on my toes.

I wear a 10. 5 in every boot and shoe and never had sore toenails. So far the thinner sock is helping. This boot is very waterproof and light weight. Great early season archery boot. However, the right boot has started squeaking in the heel.

I’d buy again but would size up one size next time.

I’ve worn out two pair of the Crispi Monaco boots. I have really liked them and they have been very comfortable. Decided to try the Crossover boot. It may be a touch heavier boot, similar flexability.

The big difference is the tongue laceup. It’s taking a touch more to break in the boot, but I think it is going to work out well. As my old boots, seem a touch narrow to start but with a little time seam ok.

I love these boots. I live in southern Arizona and used these boots to scout all summer and archery hunt deer in August when it’s over 100 degrees. They were perfect for the hot weather hiking. The desert is brutal on boots and they held up great to the cactus and rocks.

Even though they aren’t tall boots I felt like they gave me plenty of ankle support. They fit true to size. Very happy with these boots!.

After major ankle surgery 3 years ago I had found that Danner’s High Ground boot provided the features that allowed me to walk somewhat normally and with less pain. Unfortunately that boot had major issues with its lacing system.

After going through return after return, which Danner gracefully accepted they stopped making the High Ground. The only Danner boot that I could find that was built on the same last was the Vital. When I received my first pair I was a bit disappointed as the nylon material was lighter in weight than the High Ground, but after wearing that pair for months, working on the ranch, hiking and hunting I have found that I actually like the Vital better than the High Ground.

First of all, the lacing system is better, not prone to breakage, and yet allows me to lace the boot up very tight, giving me the ankle support I need. I could never get the High Ground as tight as I can the Vitals.

I wore a pair of uninsulated Vitals pheasant hunting for 19 days this past fall and had no foot pain, no issues with wear (I’ve had other boots literally wear through to my socks in less time in similar conditions) and a few days of wet, mud and snow.

My feet stayed dry. With that performance I purchased the 400g boots. Our ranch is near Gunnison, Colorado and therefore we often are very cold in the winter. I find that with a minimal level of activity the 400g boot keeps my feet warm without overheating.

I keep a pair of the 1200g boots for operating equipment where my feet are on cold steel for hours at temperatures often below 0F. The Vital is my “go to” boot for work, hiking and hunting. The metal lacing tubes are a little hard on laces, but comfort and performance far outweigh that small concern.

Oh, and last, my ankle was fused in that surgery. The Vitals, like the High Ground have extended tongue gussets that allow me to get the boots on and off without a struggle. Thanks Danner! I’m walking again.

First of all, I am very flat footed and finding hiking shoes that didn’t cause cramping or pure foot pain misery is a nightmare. I was first delighted to find that the Speedgoat series from Hoka was amazing and fit my foot very well with no aches, pains, blisters, or cramping.

However, when it came time to hike up Mt. Rainier, I knew my Hoka’s would not be appropriate. So my nightmare began again, tasked to find shoes that didn’t cause searing foot pain that would make hiking not a game of stamina, but of pure endurance.

There are cheaper boots sure, but those boots are either purely synthetic, or not re-soleable. There is nothing wrong with pure synthetic boots, but as someone who knew they would be doing 7 miles of pure snow slush and mud, I knew eventually they would wet out.

This is obviously excluding the mountaineering Scarpa and the like boots which are pure synthetic (but those are $700+). For the money, this boot cannot be beat by any other offering at $400 or below.

No other boot in this price range gives you a full grain leather outer with Goretex inner. On top of that, no other boot gives you the capacity to resole it in this price range as well. They are not light boots by any means (4lbs2oz in size 13), but when my group was suffering foot pains, wet boots, or cold boots, I was very comfortable.

It was 60 and snowy for much of my time, and this presents two problems: soaking wet boots due to prolonged hiking in snow, and wet feet due to heat buildup inside the shoe. However, these boots not only kept my feet free from any water penetration, but also vented well and kept my feet dry on the inside from sweat.

They truly are amazing and I would trust these for the end of the world, backcountry stuff. I got them and used the leather wash and leather water proofing cream from Nikwax. Then followed it up with conditioning cream, black conditioning cream, wax, and black wax.

The water never stood a chance. There are popular options in the $250 range which I considered, but those were either suede (splits the grain of leather), or not re-soleable. For a little bit extra, you get full grain and the option to keep them running for a lot longer.

If you’re already spending $200 plus, it just makes more sense money wise to pick these up due to the longevity of this boot.

Here’s a quick summary if you’re speed-reading. Pros: 1. Absolutely perfect fit (for me) 2. Incredible quality of materials and construction 3. Look amazing, fashion statement? 4. Perform better than they look! Cons: 1.

The tread pattern has a large gap between the heel and the ball. Don’t expect good traction if you step on a narrow rock right in your arch region. 2. Heavy, but expected to be 3. Expensive at full price (worth it) 4.

Too warm for the desert? (I have had no issues in 110+ heat) 5. Like all footwear, it might not fit you just right! Now a full review: After destroying my previous pair of Merrel’s and allowing them the dignity of retirement, I went on a quest to get a pair of serious hiking boots.

I am not the most extreme hiker nor do I climb glaciers, but I do get outdoors often and I am very particular about shoes in general. I tried on just about every pair of mid and high ankle boots at REI and found them all to be wanting.

Enter the Zamberlain GTX. The REI staff review note said they climbed Everest in these, wow! As soon as I slipped these bad boys on I felt as if someone had hand-crafted a pair of boots just for me. The width and length were perfect, the top of my foot was cushioned, the arch was just right, and my heel and ankle were held in place like a hand in a glove.

Add to that a Gore-Tex wrapping, a massive Vibram sole, and on sale for $250 I fell in love! Made in Italy proudly displayed on the side of the strong leather exterior was the icing on the cake. I’ve had these for over a year now and they’ve been through ice, snow, rivers, mountains, freezing temperatures, and scorching heat.

No matter where I go, I know for certain that my feet and ankles will be protected.

Been hiking in Colorado for over 24 years and I have owned several brands of hiking boots. These are easily my favorites. I started many years ago with an all leather boot and switched to the lighter hikers like the Merrill MOABs and several Salomon boots including both low and mids.

All performed well enough IMO. However as I got older and heavier my feet began to suffer after hours of hiking on the rocky terrain we have here. I tried better insoles and that helped but I could still feel the rocks beating up the soles of my feet and my heels and discomfort would often follow after a long hike.

I decided to switch back to a more rugged all leather boot with a firmer and more protective sole. Best decision I’ve made in years. As soon as I tried these on I wanted them. They felt great. My heel was locked in well, the mid foot was not tight, and I had plenty room in toe box.

I went with a wide btw. I wore these around the house for a day then took them on a quick 3 mile hike around a park nearby. No issues. The following day I went on a 7 mile hike with a lot of loose rock on the trail and plenty of elevation so they got tested going up and down rocky slopes.

I was in love with these boots. I’ve since been on several likes and have zero issues with these boots. I’ve always tended to steer away from Gore-tex boots as I mostly hike in warmer and drier weather so I saw no need for it.

However, I spent a few months hiking in the UK and Ireland and my feet were often soaked EVERYDAY and I decided I would revisit Gore-Tex on my next purchase. Since buying these boots I’ve crossed a couple streams and the waterproofing performed perfectly.

I’ve also been caught out in the rain hiking for several hours with no issues. I wear Darn Tough wool socks anytime I hike and even after hours of hiking in 80/90 degree weather here in Colorado my feet had no overheating issues.

These boots are not inexpensive but I think the investment was well worth it. These boots have solved all my foot issues. I could not be happier with my purchase.

I purchased these boots last fall and after last season and heading in to the last half of this season chasing deer and elk along the watch front her in Utah in steep rocky conditions, these boots held up perfectly and overly exceeded my expectations as this is the first Crispi boot I have ever owned.

The leather on the boots proved some amazing toughness, durability, stiffness and water protection. Not only that after putting them on for the first time, I did a 15 mile trail out and back setting trail cameras with no issues of sore feet or blisters.

One of the most comfortable boots I have tried to date right out of the box. I have battered these boots over miles and miles through whatever I threw at them, even last winter during a late hunt of 3 days straight in snow up to my knees.

One thing I would mention is to preserve and care for these boots as you would any valuable leather product. The Gore-Tex waterproofing will keep your feet dry and also breathable. I purchased some Crispi waterproofing cream that can keep your boots looking just like new.

The boots provide superb ankle support and are very stiff while still allowing you to walk/hike up and down steep hills and what I call side-hilling. Virtually no break in time, although I did just wear them around the yard one weekend doing yardwork just to try to break in a little.

I know there is no ‘perfect boot’ out there as everyone’s opinion is subjective depending on how they utilize the boots. A couple shortcomings, if you could call them that are 1) I found the boots price tag at $420 a little hard to swallow as that is a huge investment and an intimidating purchase for anyone, but most good boots out there are going to run you a few Benjamin’s but the pros well outweigh the cons in the boot so that definitely justifies the price tag and 2) is the insulation element.

Now keep in mind, I hunted in some deep deep snow last year and near 0 degree temperatures, so while sitting and glassing my feet did tend to get a little cold as anyone’s might unless you had more insulation, I did find that the 200gr insulation was sufficient though for hiking around in the snow and cold and my feet were comfortable and warm while walking and the blood moved around in my feet.

I intended these boots to be my late September through late November hunting boots and they for sure have not disappointed me. I am thrilled to say that I will continue to use these boots in the high country where I hunt and would recommend them to anyone even as a use from August into the winter months.

***One other thing I recommend is using sheep feet insoles with the boots. Money!!.

I Bought these boots after a friend recommended them over Kenetreks. I’ve tried the Kene’s and these feet me much better. Ill start by saying they are the best boots I’ve ever used. I was so impressed ordered a couple other pairs of Crispi’s for light hiking and just every day wear- all are awesome.

I Live in Kodiak, Alaska and hunt/hike terrain from gentle grassy slopes to steep grades and rocky scree. Weather from 70s fair and sunny but more often Cold windy and wet. These boots handle it all with flying colors.

While not a true mountaineering boot, these are stiff enough for scrambling after Goat and yet they’re designed in such a way that they are still comfortable walking on flat level ground. The 200g insulation is great for my use from 70s down to below freezing temps.

Tread is grippy and grabs whatever you’re trekking across. The Nubuck upper is great quality and takes a leather treatment fantastically. I recommend using Obenauf’s Heavy Duty LP to protect your leather boots No matter the brand.

Obenauf’s works fantastically in Nubuck and treating them will help further protect them and keep them moisturized and further extend their life. Speaking of Life- these boots are resole-able despite some claims that they are not.

I checked with Crispi directly and was informed that they have a cobbler in Utah that they use for resoling boots. Better than sending them back to Italy if you’re in the States. Which brings up the point that these boots are made in Italy, by quality craftsmen so you know you’re supporting Fair wages paid to working people as opposed to Massive corporate profits realized off the backs of people exploited for cheap labor.

If you’re a sasquatch, you know it… if you’re not it’s a big guy, someone who XL hasn’t been seen since public school. Sasquatches are forced to live in the edge of the retail market with limited to no choices and very poor fitting gear.

Have you ever seen a sasquatch with a gut? NO! but manufacturers assume big means you look like Homer Simpson! As a sasquatch I have 13 wide feet! Trying to find boots that fit is hard enough, ones that are comfortable is a whole other quest.

To find a quality mountain boot that meets all of this? Well my friends that is a unicorn! I’ve tried a few other brands and had mixed success. Enter Crispii. I’m not going to lie I was skeptical, they seemed to rush on the scene a few years back in a flurry with all the social media superstars toting their awesomeness at the beginning of the season? How does that work? They can’t be that great right? Along comes the father’s day sale and this sasquatch decide to take the leap….

Oh wait, I forgot to mention I live in BC, shipping and return is an option, but a very expensive one even without the exchange rate. Nonetheless, I needed some new boots and they make a 13 Wide, and well I could be giving away $100 but no risk, no reward.

Boots arrive and like magic they fit! Hold off, lets give them some time… now way these are going to be okay! Skepticism runs very high in sasqutches. I get 25km on them and am very happy… I may have even submitted a review then.

Fast forward to November and I have well over 250km on them include 50-60 solid mountain miles with packs including the Juan De Fuca trail with my wife. I’m a very happy, and humble pie eating Sasquatch that is actively contemplating buying a second pair as finding a unicorn twice is beyond lucky.

Used these for a full deer season now and can say they are the best hunting boots I’ve owned so far. I’ve never had a boot that wasn’t rubber/neoprene be actually waterproof… these are. I’ve put many miles on them in a day and they stay comfortable.

Some break in period and blisters like any new boots but worth it for the end product.
