KenetrekMountain Extreme 400 Waterproof Insulated Hunting and Hiking Boot with 400 gram Thinsulate

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!

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 ordered these boots for a last minute Idaho elk hunting trip in country that would make a Nepalese Sherpa shudder. After a 2 mile break in the day I received them, I nervously strapped them on at the trailhead for a 9 day back country hunt. They performed better than I imagined. Fit well but a little wider than I expected. No blisters at all after being in them for 9 straight days daylight to dusk, sometimes longer. Waterproof; stepping in creeks and hiking in slushy snow yielded at worst clammy feet at the end of the day. It wasn't super cold but for a late October hunt in the Rockys the 400g of insulation was perfect. Great arch support and nice stiff boot, so the overall foot fatigue was low (even though the rest of my body was wrecked!!). Even got stomped a few times while leading mules to and from camp and meat packing, and feet came out unscathed.Don't hesitate to buy these if you understand the value of great footwear in the Mountains and want the best available boot for an extreme mountain hunting trip.

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.

This was the third pair of boots I tried. The jump in good fit, comfort, and quality with this boot was a quantum leap. The fit is perfect and the boots feel broken in right out of the box. I didn't want to take them off. The quality is excellent from the leather to the loops and even the laces. I'm really looking forward to using them in the snow on long hikes. You can certainly spend less but your feet will thank you for buying these boots and my guess is they will last a long time.

These are the nicest, most comfortable boots I have ever owned. Hiked over 40 miles in them last week. I love the high support!

El articulo no es contra agua, me los lleve a la nieve y se congelaron por dentro. La mayor parte del tiempo estaban mojados por dentro

Awsome boots. Been hicking in rain for a week in the Rockies. Feet are always dry and warm. I would feel real comfortable hicking out big game on my back without worrying about flimsy boots Buy em
