hunting boots

Research and conversations with other mountain hunters led me to the Crispi Guide GTX and after well over one hundred field days and hundreds of miles, I’m happy to report back.

Described as a “performance heritage” hunting boot, the Recurve features a traditional hunting boot design made with the latest high-tech materials. It has a full-grain leather and suede upper with Danner Dry 100% waterproof barrier, removable OrthoLite insoles, and Vibram mid/outsoles.

The question becomes: how far do you want to go, and do you want your boots to be the reason you got there or the piece of gear that held you back?

Your feet matter. There’s no reason to go through a hunt miserable from foot pain or to risk infection or injury. Invest in Kenetreks and you’ll not only be a happier hunter but your feet will thank you.

It’s too bad that the waterproofing on the leather and nylon outside your boot wears off so quickly. This is the waterproofing that you need to renew to keep your feet dry.

You wouldn’t buy a sports car then outfit it with discount tires, the same should go for your feet; footwear is literally where the rubber meets the rocks. Enter the Danner Thorofare.

If you hunt snake areas, do yourself a favor and consider these classic snake boots. Your life could depend upon it—literally.
