I use Danner's for hunting, Merrell's or Asolo's for Hiking and usually buy Redwings for work. I tried a pair of Kenetrek's and was not impressed. Seems like a lot of hype for a boot that is poorly designed. I only buy American Made Danner's because their china stuff is subpar imo. I have been thinking of trying a pair of Zamberlan's out but hard to change boots when you are happy with a company.
