Perfekt

[Dhoey07]

Still hunted for mulies last Saturday then grouse hunted Sunday. Feet got absolutely soaked from my crappy boots both days. I was sick and tired of wearing crappy, leaky boots so I took the wife and daughter out to cabelas today and bought a pair of Perfekt's. I looked at keens but them not having wide sizes was a deal breaker. Used a coupon and walked out of their for just under 200.

So here is to dry feet for elk season

Good purchase! Dry feet are happy feet

Good purchase, mine leak as have any boot I've ever worn (put a couple hundred miles every year) but just use obernaufs on them and good pair of gators and don't have a problem!

I love my pair.

The only thing better than good dry boots is good dry boots with gaiters over them.

It's an awesome feeling to wade through soaking wet grass and have soft, warm, dry feet with knee high gaiters that are keeping you dry too

I've had my eye on them for awhile and finally pulled the trigger. I'll give a full report after a weekend of elk hunting

That pretty much sums it up for me also.

Like mine.   Don't forget to keep the spacers, so you can put the in when the cork bed compresses.

****Update****

I've put some miles down on these suckers and I honestly have nothing bad to say about them.  They fit my foot, which is not an easy thing to do, as I have flat, wide feet.  They give me enough support when climbing and when descending.  The first day they were a little rough on the heel when climbing real steep but I think that is to be  expected when breaking in a new boot. 

I did spend a day with heavy moisture/rain, and I'm pretty sure one of the boots leaked.  It seemed more than just wicking down off my sock, but I was never uncomfortable in the field with them.  My pants weighed about 30 pounds when I was done, and I'll bet with a set of gaitors I would have been fine. 

I would recommend these boots to anyone looking for an uninsulated, lite boot, but.....It may or may not fit your foot which is most important IMO.

  now get a pair of kennetrek gaiters and the feet will never get wet unless you fall in.   mike w

I like the comfort and support but they developed a squeak after the first season of hard hunting.

[Dhoey07]

So they should match my Eberlstock pack then

Bad news:  16 months after purchasing these boots, I took them back to cabelas.

Good news: I exchange them for The same boot and style.

After 2 elk seasons and wearing them occasionally at work, one of the rubber tread pieces popped loose. I noticed it when I was drying my feet on a piece of carpet. I'm not sure if this is a seriel problem with these but I liked them enough to give them another try.

Oh, and cabelas exchange went hassle free. I half expected them to prorate the boot, but nope, easy peasy.
