Much like the typical discard pile of holsters, hunters tend to have discard mounds of boots. It doesn\u2019t mean I never wear those boots but it does mean they aren\u2019t my go-to pairs. Of the dozens of pairs of boots I own \u2013 yes, really \u2013 I have a few preferred sets. When it comes to heavy-duty boots I usually want my Kenetreks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" title=\"Review: Kenetrek Boots\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/gakenetrek1.jpg\" alt=\"Review: Kenetrek Boots\" class=\"wp-image-125141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/gakenetrek1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/gakenetrek1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/gakenetrek1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Kenetrek Boots Mountain Extreme 400 Boots (Photo Credit: Kenetrek Boots)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Background<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As with most of the truly successful industry companies, Kenetrek was founded by a hardcore hunter, Jim Winjum. Winjum says there\u2019s nothing he\u2019d rather do than hunt sheep despite its being an extremely difficult venture and that it inspired him to make his own boots:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe began designing and building boots after a ten-day hunt in the Mackenzie Mountains of the Northwest Territories in 2002. The merciless country tested us in unimaginable ways, but it was the toll on my feet that made me want to lay down and die. When blisters became freakish gashes, I knew we had to design and build a better boot that could keep up with the needs of a high-country mountain hunter.\u201d (Kenetrek Boots founder and President Jim Winjum, <em>How it All Started<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenetrek was founded based on a seemingly simple goal: making comfortable boots for hunters, hikers, and backpackers. Nearly two decades later they\u2019ve not only reached but surpassed their goals. Today the boots are handmade in Italy and made for superior performance \u2013 and they deliver. Good boots need to fit exceptionally well and stand up to hard use. Kenetrek does those things and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" title=\"Review: Kenetrek Boots\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSCF3705-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Review: Kenetrek Boots\" class=\"wp-image-125142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSCF3705-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSCF3705-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSCF3705-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSCF3705-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSCF3705-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSCF3705-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Back when the author&#8217;s Kenetrek Boots were new. (Photo credit: Kat Ainsworth)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Boots<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For descriptive purposes, I\u2019m sticking to Kenetrek Women\u2019s Mountain Extreme 400 boots but I\u2019ve found every style of Kenetrek boots has performed just as well as these. The Mountain Extreme 400 style is a rugged boot custom-made for harsh conditions and heavy use. I\u2019ve worn mine doing everything from chasing mountain lions in the Sierra Nevadas to hunting mountain turkeys in South Dakota. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These boots are manufactured with 400 grams of Thinsulate insulation and a Windtex membrane for superior breathability. They\u2019re warm enough for hours of hiking through snowbanks but have also been good in clear fields (they hold their own in mud, too). My feet get cold very easily and these boots are the only pair I own that have kept me going during sub-zero hunts. The outsoles are K-Talon for traction and an added layer of warmth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a ton of features that work together to make these\nsuch fantastic boots. They have 8-inch, 2.8-mm thick leather uppers that have\nmaintained their shape through serious abuse. The uppers have not collapsed,\ntorn, or otherwise failed. They\u2019re made using one-piece construction without\nany seams around the tongue of the boot so they remain waterproof. The\nstitching the boots do have is reinforced double-and-triple stitching. Midsoles\nare 5mm nylon for better support, an important detail when you\u2019re packing out\n<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-aleutian-caribou\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-review-kenetrek-boots\" title=\"Review: Kenetrek Boots\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"973\">big game<\/a>. Hardware swivels so it won\u2019t snap under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenetrek Mountain Extremes are on the heavier side but aren\u2019t excessively bulky. They weigh 3 pounds, 2 ounces which do put them at a higher weight than most of my boots but they\u2019re made compact and secure enough that the weight doesn\u2019t matter. They do not flex much which is a good thing because the last thing you want when you\u2019re struggling up a muddy mountainside is a bendy, slippery boot. They flex just as much as needed so your foot can move and remain comfortable. If you do not like stiffer boots Kenetreks are not for you, but if you\u2019re a serious hunter odds are good you do want a pair of heavier-duty boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The boots have a brown upper with maroon highlighted panels around the ankle and the sole is black. The hardware is gunmetal gray (some might argue it\u2019s glossy black). When mine get truly filthy I hose them off and keep on going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"541\" title=\"Review: Kenetrek Boots\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/gakenetrek2-1024x541.jpg\" alt=\"Review: Kenetrek Boots\" class=\"wp-image-125144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/gakenetrek2-1024x541.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/gakenetrek2-400x211.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/gakenetrek2-150x79.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/gakenetrek2-768x406.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/gakenetrek2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>(Photo credit: Kenetrek Boots)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s difficult to find high-quality boots that fit your feet comfortably and won\u2019t give you blisters or run your heels raw. In the boot world, you do get what you pay for and these boots are worth the expense. I\u2019ve had this last pair of Mountain Extremes for years. My boots have carried me through ten states hunting a wide variety of game and predators. I have zero complaints. They\u2019re that good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something worth noting is that Kenetrek does make products I\u2019ve used in conjunction with their boots with excellent results. They have a full line of boot socks; I\u2019m partial to their Ultimate Liner Lightweight Over-the-Calf Socks. Yes, your socks matter. Much like a good <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/holster-belt-1791-gunleather\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-review-kenetrek-boots\" title=\"Review: Kenetrek Boots\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"974\">holster works far better with a well-made gun belt<\/a>, your boots will make you much happier if you pair them with nice boot socks. I also have a set of Kenetrek Hunting Gaiters in RealTree that I like quite a bit. It isn\u2019t always logical to wear mid-calf or at-the-knee boots and removable gaits are a happy medium. Also, gaiters allow for greater movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your feet matter. There\u2019s no reason to go through a hunt miserable from foot pain or to risk infection or injury. Invest in Kenetreks and you\u2019ll not only be a happier hunter but your feet will thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MSRP: $450.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">For more information&nbsp;visit Kenetrek <a href=\"https:\/\/kenetrek.com\/products\/womens-mountain-extreme-4\" campaign=\"Kenetrek_Mountain_Extreme_Boot\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">website<\/a>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your feet matter.
