Come to find out Danner discontinued this boot :bash: and tried to supplement it with the Elk Hunter.
I ordered a pair and got them only to be extremely disappointed. I only needed to lace up one before I realized they are going back. They felt terrible!
I have scoured the internet looking for one surviving pair of the Elk Ridge boots, but they are gone. I loved those boots and they fit me perfectly, why did Danner have to go and change a good thing? If anyone here works for Danner, revive that boot and kill that monstrosity you call the Elk Hunter, NOW!
I went to my local North 40 today and decided to see what all they hype was with the Kenetreks. Tried on a pair and damn, those things felt very nice, I almost walked out with them, but my wiser self said to research them a bit first and read the reviews.
I have never worn a boot with a sole that stiff, but it felt like it fit my foot well. I jumped on here and read some of the issues guys had with blisters on the heels due to the stiffness and an issue with fitting their foot correctly. How do I know if this will be a problem for me or not? Is there a way to be certain the boot fits my foot like its supposed and not cause an issue on my heel? Seemed to fit my foot like a glove and I felt no rubbing in the store, but once you get on a hill its totally different. Just trying to prevent a $450 mistake.

I believe you can resole the elk ridge since it's a stitch down sole
I believe you can as well, but its a 10 week turn around right now from the day they get them. I need my boots for scouting and such this summer and I may not get them back in time for archery season. I am just kinda torn at this point.

I wore Danner's for many years, but they are a thing of the past in my eyes. Kenetreks are more than twice the boot. You won't be disappointed. :twocents:
I hope not, but they are much different than the Danners. I am worried about the ski boot like feel on some of the terrain. Does that improve when they are broken in?

I've never experienced the ski boot effect in the Mountain Extreme's with 5 pairs. I know the feeling with the Mtn Guides and other mountaineering boots I've worn. I don't notice much of a break in period, but then again I'm fortunate to not have picky feet.

Although I am on the Kenetrek Bandwagon as well, have you looked at the Danner Canadians? They are a stout, well built boot if you want to stay with Danner.
I have considered them as well. I had a pair awhile back and they just seemed to high on my leg to be comfortable. I think the 9 in shank was my number with Danner boots. I know the Kenetrek says its also 10in high, but it didn't feel the same when I tested them out. I also cant find a pair of the Canadians in CDA to try on and I would really like to try the boots on before I order them.

no idea how they'll hold up but they're like a jogging shoe that laces up and your foot is down inside the sole instead of up on top, the stability is awesome, best surest footed boot I've ever had on.
putting them on I feel like I should run somewhere

I guess it depends on how hard you hunt and if your in the rocks or not.
Once you get past the blister stage I hear Kenetreks are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am most worried about that blister stage. On the longevity, my hunting partner has a set he has used heavily for 5 years, tread looks a little to worn for my taste but he says he still gets good traction and will have them resoled next year maybe. Not very rocky here in the panhandle, but he puts a lot of miles on every hunting season.

Like I said she wore threw the rubber front and back on both and the treads are slicks.
Granite is hard on boots.
Bottom line.........If you have boots you like buy a couple pairs.

I hear you there. Never thought they would discontinue these boots, but they did. If they ever release them again Im stocking up!
Wont Kenetrek rebuild them for you? I saw a detailed review of their rebuilds and they fix everything on the boot for 175 I think.

I know everyone is different but you have to try them before judgment. It took me about of week of preseason hiking to break them in but that shouldn't be any different that any other quality leather boot. Danner hasn't fallen on the boots still made here in the US. Just the overseas crap they sell the city folk.
Post by: elkinrutdrivemenuts on June 24, 2016, 10:25:03 AM
Wondering what you need in comfort for boots. I wear boots everyday for work and absolutely love the Danner Elk Hunters. Stomped around the mountains in Utah for two weeks last year with no issues in blisters or fatigue in my feet. Elk hunted late season on the wet side last November with zero moisture.

I dont know what it was, the uppers felt weak and uncomfortable, I didnt like how the tounge was designed. Just totally different from my other boots. The Elk Ridge had a thick tounge and upper that seemed to give me a very comfortable, yet supportive feel. The insole seemed no existent on the Elk Hunters and my heel wont stay in place, way to much movement. I ordered wide boots and they fit perfect up front but the heel had a very sloppy fit. I am sure they work great for some guys, i just was expecting something similar to what I had and they were no where close.

I agree with that last advice. As long as the leather is good, get them resoled and don't buy new ones. Your feet wont know the difference between the old and new and you will have the traction back. Great option. Last I checked it is about $120-150 to get Danners resoled. Not a bad price for a comfortable boot.

Problem is they wont be back before Archery Season. I am not hunting in my whites, been there done that, sounded like a damn train lol. If the weather holds I could use sneakers for a bit.

I fought and fought boots through high end pairs almost every year. Finally I broke down and bought the lathrop and sons custom boot deal. They set me up with lowa bighorn hunters. Got them in the mail laced them up and went on a 4 mile hike with a 60 lb pack that day. Feet felt great. There should be no "blister stage" with any boot. That means they don't fit correctly if you are getting blisters or they aren't laced correctly. I also ordered some Solomon 4d quest hikers from lathrop and they are awesome for early to mid season.

So I went back and tried on the Kenetreks again and compared them with Lowa. I could tell right away there was a difference and the Lowa they had wasn't for me. I also noticed the Kenetrek felt loose because I was wearing a lighter sock, the same sock Ill wear until there is snow on the ground. I tried them on the first time with medium weight socks, that felt great. I think I will check out Lathrop and sons and see what they say. Seems kinda spendy to drop 150 on a sizing kit, but I suppose its best to know exactly what you need before dropping 450 on something that will only work part of the time.

Spot on advice. Every need is different and every foot is different. I'd add that some so-called boots that are marketed as "hunting" boots are a waste of money. No offense, but Kenetreks are not stiff boots, at least compared to more serious mountaineering/hunting type boots and they quickly break down if you are a high mileage guy or spend any amount of time up in granite scree fields.
I admit to initially being a fanboy of Kenetreks but grew to despise them after trying to make them work for me. The first pair I bought fit like a glove, but unfortunately leaked like a sieve....I'm talking walk through some wet lawn grass and your feet are squishing water inside the boot kind of leaky. Sent them back. Second identical pair (Mountain Extreme Non-Ins) had notable heel slip to the point I had to pre-apply duct-tape before doing long trails or venturing up some steep stuff. They leaked and I wore down the sole in a season. Sent them back. The third pair were total POS. The rand peeled off, they leaked, the tops were floppy soft like Chuck Taylor Converse All-Stars and the sole wore off in hardly any time at all. I babied the fourth pair which fit quite a bit better though I still felt compelled to duct up my heels, but they also leaked and the soles were toast after just a couple scouting trips and one bear hunt. Sent them back and got a refund after a few choice words with the owner who initially wasn't going to refund my money. My hunting partner managed to run his for 3 years and some stitching tore out on the back of the boot. He sent them in to Kenetrek to get repaired and was told the boots were shot and his only option was to buy a new pair. He said no thanks and had Dave Page fix the sewing. They lasted through the rest of the season before being relegated to lawn mowing boots. He's been running mountaineering boots ever since and won't even mention the name Kenetrek they pissed him off so bad.
Anyway, after the Kenetrek debacles, I moved on to Schnee's Granites. Much, MUCH better made boot than the Kenetreks, but they are definitely a little on the warm side since they are insulated. Initially somewhat stiffer feeling but have an amazing rocker. Good heel cup. Extremely comfortable with Sole "blue" insoles. The first pair were great but the right book eventually sprung a leak over my instep. Soles and rand held up fine. But sent them back for a second pair which are still going strong two years later, but I baby them and have only taken them on a few long-bomb alpine scouting and hunting trips.
I finally decided to make the switch to Scarpa's last year for alpine hunting and will never ever go back to wildly overpriced leather recreational hunting boots. I'm rolling with the Mont Blanc Pro GTX's and the Triolets. Absolutely love them with Sole blue inserts. Dry, comfy, stable, supportive, and going up in the steep stuff is like walking on stairs.

I just was looking at the schnees. I was intrigued. It sounds like you are hunting a much different area than I usually go. No granite fields, just normal wet mountain terrain found in north idaho. Really want a leak proof boot that I can hike all day in. Would they be worth looking at?I fought and fought boots through high end pairs almost every year.

Whatever boot you decide on, make sure you get a good pair of aftermarket insoles. OEM insoles are all cheap rubbish that the manufacturer knows people are going to throw anyway. I highly recommend Sole blue inserts. Excellent arch support, good cushion, great breathability, dry fast and are heat moldable to your feet. You can pick 'em up at REI for sub $50. The Green Superfeet are good too if you want something a little lighter, but they don't really have any cushion. They have a friction sort of texture to their surface and I find the soles of my feet feel like they are on fire sometimes when wearing them going down steep terrain with a moderate to heavy load.
FWIW, I've heard nothing but good things about Hanwag's service and support. You might check them too.

Took some rather pointed questions with the salesman at the renting landing scanner store to find that out. Explains why my quarry boots were no good. Apparently danner puts the metal on in Portland and most everything else is Chinese.
Switched back to the super rainforest and have never had an issue as long as I keep them greased and clean. I watch guys in my crew go through three or more pairs just working or just hiking before I need to replace mine.

Dinner has made in the USA (like the super rainforest which I can get three years hunting and working underground utilities everyday) and assembled in USA like the quarry.
Took some rather pointed questions with the salesman at the renting landing scanner store to find that out. Explains why my quarry boots were no good. Apparently danner puts the metal on in Portland and most everything else is Chinese.
Switched back to the super rainforest and have never had an issue as long as I keep them greased and clean. I watch guys in my crew go through three or more pairs just working or just hiking before I need to replace mine.
Yeah but aren't you the guy who just sits in the truck and drinks coffee while the rest of the guys work? :chuckle: :chuckle:

I had the old style danners until they wore out then switched to Scarpa Wrangell. Love them but they are very stiff.
Anybody have advice on the fit of scarpas? the Euro sizing confuses me and I'm basically a 13.5 shoe size
