Let's Talk Boots!

[SkookumHntr]

I ordered a pair of kenetrek mi, they won't ship till aug 10th!! Sounds like I'm gonna be pushing it to get them broke in by October! Grr

1.5 months to Break boots in? That's a long time.

the rest of aug I will be salmon fishing, but I think I will have time to still get um' broke in!

My Lowas took very little time to break in. They fitted around my feet almost from the start. No sore spots or blisters either.

I took my Kenetreks out of the box and hit the hills for a late archery muledeer hunt. Was that smart? No. Luckily it worked out for me and my feet were just fine. They are a stiff boot but that was what I liked about them. If not for the leaking issue I might still have mine. I do boot reviews now pretty often and am fortunate enough to be able to test quite a few different types and brands. Good luck fellas hope you find the ones you like.

I bought a set of Danner Pronghorns today, I'm wearing them right now, They feel gooooood! way better than the worn out combat boots that I have been hunting in lately

I don't think they will let you in unless you have on tie-die and sandals.

Yeah man, combat boots aren't that great compared to anything I've purchased myself.  I do have a nice set of Danner boots that I wear in uniform but those ran a little higher than the cheapo ones.

I had a set of Pronghorns but they blew out after about a year and a half.

yeah, it was a money thing for me, I bought a set of Kennetreks a few years ago and after about a week of wearing them I had some severe pain in the ball of my left foot, Apparently they were too narrow for me and caused some issues. I sold them and hadn't bought any hunting boots to replace them. I plan on buying some more boots in the future but I wanted some for hot weather first as that's when my feet really bug me.

I've used a pair of lowa renegades for the last 7 years with zero problems.  I've also absolutely destroyed danner pronghorns in less than 2 years...  I will stick with Lowa from now on.    Shoebuy.com has them with a 20% discount code for around $200.

Here's a lunchtime break with some leaky Danners... Don't buy them unless you can find a drying rack.

For early season I was using Lowa Khumbu 2"s but made the switch last year to Salewa Mountain Trainer GTX. I can't say enough about a full rand sole.

Check out Russell Moccasin online site, I ordered my second pair last year after using my first pair for 14 years of hard high country hunting in Washington, Idaho and Wyoming. They are a custom fitted boot that requires you to take about 7 different measurements of your foot, ankle and calf. Take a look at their " high country" boots. I have never wore a more comfortable boot.
