I went back and forth for months on this purchase, as these Granite 200g from Schnee's Boots were by far the most-expensive boots I was ever going to purchase in my life. Fast forward to the now... These are most-comfortable and highest-quality boots I've ever had on my feet. I've been breaking these in for two months now. I leave for Montana to hunt elk and mule deer at the end of October. I'm 100% confident that my feet will be well taken care of!
