As a southwest Washington back country elk hunter it is extremely important to me to keep my feet dry and comfy. These boots absolutely went above and beyond expectation. I put them through continuous rain, standing water, and even snow. Never once did my feet get wet or cold. It was a 23 mile day packing my bull out this year, and the support and comfort these boots provided was exceptional. This is my first pair of Kenetrek boots, it took me awhile to justify the cost. The price tag did hurt, but the quality now makes it make sense. I am now a life time costumer, thank you Kenetrek!!
