WATERPROOFNESS: 9- I’ve yet to find a leather hunting boot that doesn’t eventually leak. About Day 75, after probably 500 creek crossings and more boggy miles than I care to discuss, I started noticing moisture along the outstep of my insoles. Realistically, I was actually very impressed they held water as long as they did.

The protective thermo-sealed gaiter and watertight T-ZIP make the Highland Pro boot completely impermeable to water.

There is a 12-month warranty on all Kenetrek boots where they will replace or repair the boots within reason. Some may say that a 12-month warranty is not much when compared to other brands, but I would beg to differ. The lateral containing supports provide torsional controla and ensure an optimum glide of the foot. Looking at two of their premier products, the Kenetrek Mountain Extreme 400 and the Crispi Hunter GTX. Each boot will be judged against five main factors that each hunter will look for in a boot: The Kanada Evo GTX boot from CRISPI® is an excellent value, high quality Italian leather boot that is waterproof and insulated using premium materials. They are all about the mountains, tough terrain, hunting excursions in difficult weather and offering protection to those people working physical jobs such as lineman and wildfire fighters.

DURABILITY: 10- Over the course of 86 days, I took these boots from saltwater to mountain peaks. I have to say they look great inside and out. Not single stitch is out of place, the soles have lots of life left in them, the rand is completely intact, and the leather looks great. I typically get two seasons out of my boots if I rotate them. The ultimate durability test will come at the end of next fall, but at this point I have every confidence they will perform well. Crossing creeks and rivers is a constant when mountain hunting.

COMFORT: 10- These are the most comfortable hunting boots I’ve ever worn! Throughout the fall I marveled at the fact it felt as though I didn’t have anything on my feet. I’ve never had boots conform so well to my feet, yet they still offered great support.The Elastoflex midsole delivers a perfect weight to impact absorption ratio specific to hunting situations and use.

There tends to be 3 options for outdoor workers when they are choosing the best footwear for the type of work and conditions; 1) Wellington boots, 2) Walking Boots and 3) Walking Boots with Gaiters fitted. Each of the 3 options have positives and negatives. Wellingtons offer great waterproof properties, but very limited ankle support and comfort. Walking boots offer good support and comfort but limited waterproof abilities compared with wellingtons. The option to fit a gaiter to walking boots is an improvement but can be time consuming, fiddly and ultimately, water can stilll creep up from underneath.From hot and dry to cold and wet, there is perhaps no place on earth that is more unforgiving than Alaska. Sooner or later, the Last Frontier will always expose inferior equipment. It’s this type of relationship and testimonials that give the consumer confidence when purchasing a pair of Kenetrek boots.
