went to buy some kenetrek boots at wholesale sports in federal way today, couldn't pull the trigger on 389 dollar boots. And the four other boots I wanted they didn't have my size. Went to sport co and decided to go cheap, bought one pair of rocky's and one pair of Irish setters. I got those 2 pair of boots and a bunch of bottom fishing gear for the same price of one pair of Kenetrek's.

Both the Kenetrek and the Lathrop & sons hanwag's are worth every penny.  I put on a lot of miles every year from sagebrush to rainforest to solid rock walls chasin goats, and both boots are fantastic.  I won't ever waste money on cheap boots again, but with both pairs of boots in the closed, shoud'nt have to  :tup:

If they fit, and work well for your style of hunting then good for you.  I'll never advocate spending money just to spend it, I'm as cheap as anybody.  I guarantee you'll never find me out hunting in Rocky's or Irish Setters, but that's based on fit/feel and how I hunt.

Camofire had a good deal on Kennetreks, don't know if it's still up or not.

My last two sets of boots were Irish Setters. For about $300 I got 5 years of wear.  I figure a pair of Kenetreks will last me a little longer for only about $90 more.  Everyone I know that owns a pair swears by them, so I am going to sack up and go for it this year...

Bought a pair of Hardscrabble's today (my first spendy boots) at the Burlington Wholesale sports.  Fit seems really good.  I am not used to the solid support.  Time will tell!  :dunno:

Bought my kenetreks and love them. I had a major injury to my foot during a car accident that i was in while in the military. I am VERY picky about my boots and can only wear certain boots. The Kenetrek Mountain Extremes that i bout are fantastic and i would recommend them to anybody. They have tons of support and that is great for guys like me with messed up feet.
