MOUNTAIN EXTREME NON-INSULATED

Game Changer

Not sure what I did before these boots. I literally wear these boots 6-7 days a week. From stalking elk in the mountains of New Mexico to chasing goats in Northern British Columbia, guiding whitetails in Illinois to the day in and day out on the construction site, these boots can handle it all. Absolutely love the comfort, stability, and durability. When you're 15 miles in, you need a pair of boots you can rely on and trust to get you back out. With a good set of gaiters you can wade a stream near knee deep and be sure you're still 100% dry.

MOUNTAIN EXTREME 400

Versatile Cold Weather Boot

As a professional guide and outfitter, I'm in the woods 200 days a year. I've tried almost every boot manufacturer available and Kenetrek has proven time and time again to be the most reliable, comfortable, and weather resistant boot on the market. I've worn these boots at 14,000 ft in Kyrgyzstan chasing Ibex and Marco Polo and then turned around and laced them up for one of those cool, wet, late archery elk mornings in Colorado. To me, the highlight of these boots is the lack of break in period you experience with other brands. I know everyone's foot is a little different, but I can slide on a pair of Kenetreks and put 5-6 miles on in the high country and my heels are no worse for the wear when I get back to the campfire after dark. One of the other great attributes of these boots is longevity. In this day and age, a quality boot will cost about as much as a truck payment, so getting the best bang for your buck is a necessity. In the old days, I would go through a pair of boots a season. I'm currently on my 2nd pair and year 8 of wearing Kenetreks with little to no distress on my current pair. During the winter, I'm in my Kenetrek's every day chasing lions through the mountains with my hounds. Between long sweaty hikes and high snow, my boots end up on the boot drier almost every night. If I had to list one frustration with the boot, it would be that over time and many nights on the boot drier these boots shrink a little becoming a little tighter on my foot which seems to decrease the insulation value on cold winter mornings. At the end of the day, when my clients ask me the boot to buy there is only one answer, KENETREK.

The Kenetrek Wildland Fire boot is just as tough as the hunting boots. I am a full time guide in the winter and a wildland firefighter in the summer. I started wearing Kenetrek's hunting boots 10 plus years ago and have never had any major issues, so I decided to give the Kenetrek Wildland Fire boot a try. The boot has a solid shank which helps for going up steep terrain. The one problem I normally have with a lot of the newer wildland boots is they normally can not handle the high temps but this boot handled it with no problems at all. The only problem I had with the boots is the boot took a long time to break in making it hard on the feet when hiking 5 plus miles. After they broke in, the boot was great. It's a good day in our industry when your not having to worry about if your boots can handle the day, weeks, months, years and these boots have handle themselves great as they are on year two. Great job with these boots!

This is my first pair of Kenetrek boots. The first hour or so takes a bit to get used too. Almost feels like it's a rocking motion as you step. I wear my boots 50+ hours a week and my feet stay comfortable all day. Ankle support is great.. we climb several poles a year and can't even feel when my hooks are on. I have had the Hardscrabble ST for over a year now. They are holding up amazing, way better then some higher end boots I have had. Make sure to apply the boot wax regularly. My only complaint I would say is clipping the shoelace into the first clip. For the hard and serious hiker, guide, outdoor enthusiasts this is the boot to have.

WILDLAND FIRE BROWN

Lugs on bottom wore off

These boots fit well, and I enjoyed them-up to a point. I purchased these boots in October 2020 and did not wear them much through winter, but somehow the lugs on the front heel of both boots tore off. As you can see by the photo, the boots have not seen a lot of wear and tear. And it's not like I climb mountains or scale cliffs. I am a wildland firefighter who doesn't hit the line like I once did. I liked the grip these boots provided and the aggressive tread on the sole-up until the lugs tore loose.

HARDSCRABBLE HIKER

Great boot for SAR, Hiking and Hunting

I got these boots because I needed an all around boot for Search and Rescue, Hiking, Hunting and something I could wear at work, when I do Bridge Inspections. I wanted something with full grain leather and no seams in the toe area, because my previous boots had all failed in that area after about 2 years. The Hardscrabble Hikers are very stiff out of the box, which is to be expected, because they are very sturdy boots. The sides gradually wore in to the sides of my foot after a few hikes. After about 20 miles the soles started to wear in. I just wore them on a 23 mile SAR mission going through rock, snow and mud at 11,000 feet and they worked great and kept my feet dry. The ankle support saved me from injury a couple of times. They fit well in my snowshoes too. I think these boots will last a long time and will only get more comfortable with additional use.

CORRIE II HIKER

Kenetrek does it again.

I have wore Kenetrek boots my entire guiding and hunting career nearly 20 years in the professional business and I have zero complaints. I have tried getting my hands on these for a little while and finally was able to order a pair for early season hiking, hunting, and scouting. Just like every Kenetrek I have ever owned they break in quick, and are comfortable. These boots give great support, breathe great, and are perfect for tough terrain in the warmer seasons. I recommend these to boots over any other early season boot I have ever tried, and the best part is they are built to last and will be on my pack list for awhile before I need to worry about replacing.
