Love mine! Going into my 3rd year with them.
Only regret is not buying them YEARS sooner! Only brand of boot I plan on ever owning, from here on out 😎
Great review. These boots are extremely comfortable, I bought mine from Gear Fool a year ago. I got the uninsulated version since my feet get hot no matter what. I will use these in September-May. I haven't had any blisters or hot spots from hikes. Compared to the Crispi Nevada I had before, these are so much better. These ran true to size for me, I wear a 9.5 in nikes/vans/tennis shoes and wear a 9.5 in these.
😎
I just ordered some Hardscrabble Hikers. It will be my first pair of Kenetrek and I'm really hopeful that they fit well.
The Hardscrabble Hikers are a solid model too. Fingers crossed they're a good fit for your feet. - Forest
Never go wrong with good boots. I use Hanwag Yukon's most of the time and they're great for me. Very similar to those Kenetrek's.
Hanwag definitely makes a quality product too! - Forest
I love my kenetreks. I agree with everything you said. They fit like a glove, give excellent ankle support, and keep my feet dry. I also noticed that they run warm (my feet get sweaty regardless of boot or shoe, so I bought the uninsulated version). I wouldn't want to wear them on an early season hunt or summer scouting, but Mid Sept- Nov in Utah, they are awesome!!
You nailed it, Danny! I'm right there with you concerning sweaty feet, for better or for worse. LOL - Forest
@@gearfoolWhat insulate were those boots? 400g?
@@robertdepaoli9310 Hi Robert. These particular Kenetrek Mountain Extreme Boots were non-insulated. - Forest
What do you use as your other boot? I’m currently looking at the hand wags both the makra and tetra for when less is needed .
Thanks for the question. I generally run with a Crispi Boot (various models) when I'm not wearing these Kenetrek Mountain Extremes in colder, wetter seasons. I have the Hanwag Alvertsone II GTX as well and I like them, but I haven't put nearly the same amount of miles on them just yet. If you decide to pick up a pair of Kenetrek, Crispi, or Hanwag, contact us at GearFool.com and we'd be happy to get you taken care of. Take care. - Forest
Kenetrek will rebuild these boots for a very reasonable price. I use the lineman extreme for work. Wear them daily and have had them rebuilt once. Best boots I have ever had.
How are they for climbing poles?
@@samuelstratton6815 they are the best boots I have had for climbing. The utility I work for has about 60% back yard overhead so we get our fair share of it. I’ve had mine rebuilt once so far but I wear them all the time
Just found a pair of these in my size almost brand new at goodwill for 19 bucks🤗
A steal!
Do you feel Ken’s and Crispis are equals to each other? I have Lapponias, nevadas and Wildrocks. Tend to get heal blisters. But other than that I really like them.
I have heard mixed reviews from everyone, but in my experience the Kenetreks are going to be more durable, and stiffer than most crispi boots. The downside for me is the kenetrek boots have a shallower heel cup, so the back of my heel rubs on them. If you are having heel issues with your crispi's (which I have not heard of very often) you may have a shallower heel, and a boot like the kenetrek could be a great option. If you're getting blisters on the bottom of your heel, consider trying some insoles such as superfeet that will hold your heel in place a little better. That's my 2 cents, give us a call if you want to talk about it more! -Brady
I'm curious what boot you like that allows you to "feel the soil"? Thanks!
This boot would be the Crispi Lapponia II for myself personally. It shines where the Kenetrek Mountain Extreme does not and vice versa. - Forest
Hello; all my boots are actually bigger than what the tag says; I mean feel bigger than a sneaker or whatever the same size so I always wonder about these many people talking to go 1 or 2 sizes bigger.
My doubt is regarding the 400 insulation in comparison with a boots with the 200. You know, the same boot with 400 insulation or without that like you mention actually have the same space for the foot inside? or the insulation invades the insole or foot space with the 400 version? Never used this brand
Thanks
Thanks for the awesome question! I've worn the Kenetrek Mountain Extreme in their non-insulated, 400g thinsulate, and 1000g thinsulate variants. With the same sock being worn in each variant, I have the exact same clearance within the toe box. With Kenetrek Boots, the fit and feel remains the same (for a given model, such as the Mountain Extreme) regardless of whether or not it is insulated. To answer the other segment of your question, I wear a size 9.5D in Crispi Boots and a size 10D in Kenetrek Boots. I'm confident that this variance amongst manufacturers may differ based on the individual user, but it may be a good starting point to "size up" with Kenetrek Boots by a half-size in comparison to your standard boot size. Feel free to contact me through GearFool.com or at 435-263-0207 during normal business hours if you want to chat these boots in greater detail. I'd be happy to help you get prepared for your next adventure! - Forest
Best boot ive ever owned.
That's hard to argue! - Forest
What keeps your feet dry? Goretex or..?
There is a Windtex waterproof membrane, and the leather will be waterproof when properly oiled.
