Mountain boots

[Limbhanger2881]

Anybody run the kenetrek boots? Been wearing the highgrounds but only getting around 1 season out of them. Pair I've got now probably only has a month left. Like the light weight and comfort but feel like they are lacking something. Probably a little stability. My feet get tender after several miles in them.

I wear kenetrek and love them. I have been wearing Kenetreks for 6 years and used the exclusively when I lived in Wyoming and hunting the Absorkas.

I’ve got a pair of Crispi summit GTX’s on order. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they hold up. I bought a pair of Salomon quest 4d’s before turkey season this year and they are shot already.

I'm on my second season of a pair of Crispi Thor GTX's. Not sure how many miles I've put on em but it's a bunch. My favorite thing bout em is how supportive they are of my goofy boogerd up feet. I weigh bout 230 and have hauled 100+ lb loads out of moutain country with em and my feet didn't hurt like they use to. You can about do a toe stand in em without hardly bending them but the inside footbed holds my feet perfectly. It's an odd combination of support & comfort in a lightweight boot. Thats my honest 2 cents on em. Lil' pricey but what's your feet worth?

Boots are one thing I don't skimp on. I'll hunt with a $200 rifle with a $199 scope on it in Walmart camo, but I'll have $300 boots on my feet.

Since my 20 year old Russell’s finally got beyond repair I thought I would get with the times and pick up some light weight hikers. The salomans where great while they lasted. They were comfortable and had plenty of stiffness for carrying heavy packs but if you have to spend $220 every 6 months you can buy some some expensive footwear for that.

Anyone ever use schnees?

Schnee boots are awesome especially their pack boots. I believe the owner of schnees and kenetrek started kenetrek and they split up and the guy came out with schnees

Was in SD earlier this week pheasant hunting and one of my buddies had on a pair of Crispi boots and was raving about how comfortable they were. Good looking boot.

They r extremely comfortable and we'll made...I realize $300+ is a lot to pay for footwear....my only regret is why did I wait till I was almost 50 to treat my feet better

Picked up a pair of kenetreks this afternoon. They feel great and not even broke in yet. Feels like my feet are in a glove. Can't wait to put some miles on them.

Update on the Crispi summits. I’ve put some miles on these things the last month and really like them. They are plenty stiff enough for packing but the build/shape allows you to walk quietly too. The needed very little break in. Although they are not insulated they have a nice fabric liner and are surprisingly warm. I have sat in a stand in the high twenties with a medium weight wool sock and stayed comfortable. We’ll see what they look like in a year!

Will do. You too. Somebody was wondering if these cameras will take pictures of movement from a cold blooded critter. I guess we`ll see?

Its motion sensors right? Not infered

Broke a cleat on my Danner High Ground boots last week trying to bend it out a bit to keep from lace pinching. I contacted customer service and was told to send them in and provided with a claim number. I sent the boots off on 12/3, and got an email today stating they had credited my Danner account $193+$12 to pay for shipping. I just ordered direct from Danner another pair of High Ground and 4 pair of Danner heavy Merino Wool socks paid in full by the credit provided by my old damaged boots. I've wore Danners for years and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks.

There's something to be said for good customer service.

I feel like danner is one of the last companies around that you actually get what you pay for. Love em!

That is correct and Kenetrek boots are top notch!

Which kenetreks do you have?
