Quality boot for price. Comfy and warm
Great boot I bought three prime took to long to ship
First attempt to don the boots, I grabbed the top cinch strap and gave it a pull. The clip went rocketing off into my (somewhat ) cluttered garage. All I heard was a soft plastic "tick" and it was gone. needless to say the odds of finding it rank up there with curing cancer. So I am clunking along like I'm wearing bell bottom pants upside down. Thankfully the tapered ankle and fit are keeping the boot secure. They fit well. They are not overly wide at the sole, so don't create an additional trip hazard. Perfect for wet fall weather doing chores, on the boat or hunting. Love the boot, but the little plastic nipples that hold the strap retainer are about as useful as the ones on my chest. They don't even penetrate the full thickness of the retainer. So be very gentle when you tug on the cinch strap. It is apparently nor designed to take any pressure. I'm sure some day in the not too distant future, I will stumble upon the retainer and my boot will be whole again. Unless my GSP finds it first.
Keep your feet warm and dry, sturdy but heavy
I really like the boots , very comfortable. There is one thing I’m not liking, they seem taller than normal boots , it makes them a little awkward when driving. Could just be the type of truck I drive too.
had them less than a year. during our archery season this year i noticed they are dry rotted already
Excellent boot
I've had a pair for 7 years. As you can see shoegoo has sufficed for the past year or so. I love these boots, they are warm and have lasted me a long time. Ordered a new pair and I am kind of disappointed. I am also very picky. We'll see how they hold up at work. Wish they had a 7 in stock.
