White's Pac boots??

[CountryslickR]

Thinkin about getting a pair of Whites Packs here soon...anyone have any experience with these? Im lookin at gettin the Elk Guides. I've worn Whites boots for years, just never the winter packs..thanks!

Had several pair of White's but switched to the Schnee's a few year back and I like them a whole lot better. They seem to be more comfortable for longer wearing and fit better than the Whites.

I have a pair of Where's pacs and love them.

I would STRONGLY suggest looking at Hoffman's pacs. Whites and nicks beat hoffmans on work boots, Hoffman's smokes em on pacs. I like seeing made in Idaho on my soles more than made in China.

  there was a story somewhere about 2 guys stranded in wilderness during winter. Guy wearing Hoffmans was 100% when rescued, guy wearing Whites lost his toes.

I have had a pair since '95, been re-soled twice and replaced the liners 3 times. They are the best pacs I've ever owned, wouldn't trade them for any other brand.

i have a pair of whites elk guide pacs, and they are a solid pac boot. i also have a pair of whites smokejumpers that i wear almost daily. only complaint is that it takes me a little bit of time to get used to the air bog type sole of the pacs after wearing the vibram soled smokejumpers all summer long

i dont have any experience with schnees or other brands but for the money and what i use the whites pacs for i couldnt be happier and have yet to get cold feet in the whites elk guides

 Me too! even though the Whites are made in Korea. Not much better, but how many on this  site own a Hyundai, or Kia?

My old whites (yukon survivor) are killer, well made boots. My elk guides...not so much, the rubber checked up and cracked in two seasons. My hoffmans have nailed down soles and better rubber. The leather on all of them are comparable. I would get the extra sole that goes in the liner to keep your foot higher off the snow.

For those that do not know, hoffman's are made in Kellogg right by Dave smith.
