Schnees, Best Blacktail hunting boots for the wetside.

ive gone away from trying to find boots that will stay waterproof and started using a pair of $25 gore-tex socks. bonus is on hot days you can stand in cool water and cool your feet.

i did see corked xtra-tuffs at madsen's that caught my eye though....

all the animals are gone smell your feet from miles away !! but realy i tried this and while great for very cold aplications,they dont breath real well and my feet sweeted realy bad in them

put over 130 days in the feild with the kentreks and so far so good..long break in but well worth it..i needed to be gel'n to put my foot higher in the boot but after that they were great..had a 135 pounds on the pack,cross counrty,very steap, and these boots gave extremly good  support

i use them in conjunction with a hot weather vented boot and coolmax liner socks and thats the most comfortable my feet have ever been. they sweat alot and in an insulated boot they never dry out and then end up cold...

is your liner pretty crusty by the end of the day ? like do you think you could wear that set up for a good three days with out washing ?

kinda curous about how they did in a vented type boot/shoe,

thin runingsock+seal skinz+w/p boots and iwasstill to hot...then that night temps got to 0 degrees an the dang things froze..that morning my feet were cold too

I bought a pair of Lowa last year and what a huge difference for my feet. The support is amazing. Get some good leather care for them, too. Look around online and you can find some of those, Kennetreks or Crispis on sale or closeout.

i use the goretex socks from rocky. got them at botach tactical. same with my boots. rocky s2v. after a creek crossing i can walk my boots dry. i wear poly coolmax from cabelas as the liner and i just switch between 2 pair. rinse them out and put in mesh pack pocket.  in hot weather or hard hike ill go to just the liner til theres water around. if im bivy hunting ill have spare liner sock and wearing midweight sock or goretex sock and liner sock

I really like the irish setter boots somewhere between 400-800G insulation.  I hunt from mid october-end of november and I just go with heavier or lighter weight socks depending how cold or hot it is out.

   I used to swear by the Browning stalkers but I can not find them anywhere So I bought the Irish setters and they are top notch... had mine a year now and no wet feet yet ....

I have a pair of Kenetrek Hardscrabbles, and I've been very pleased with them.  Very comfortable, great support, and no leaks.  Try on a few different boots and pick the ones that fit you best.

I used to hunt with danners but wasnt ever completely sold on them.  I went out on a limb and bought a pair of rocky lynx last year and will never go back to danner.  They are the most comfortable and warm boot i have ever wore.  I used them in montana and hunting in single digit weather in 5 inches of snow and my felt like they would in front of a campfire.  But the only problem with recommending boots is that not everyones feet are built the same.  You really just have to find the one that fits the shape of your foot and the climate you hunt in.

Another    for the irish setters. For the money I think they are tough to beat.
