The "Fit is It" when it comes for proper footwear. Maybe some year I will save enough $$ to get a really high quality boot like the $500 Mountain Extremes. I don't hunt enough anywhere else aside from area around the house to warrant the cost. When I finally am able to do some western big game hunting I will end up getting something better than my old 1000 gram Thinsulate Irish Setters that I wear in late fall into winter or my 400 gram thinsulate neoprene rubber boots for archery and turkey hunting. The sock game is also important, I need to dial that in before I go out west in the next year or two as well. Thanks for sharing this series Randy, always best to go to the Source.
Just wore my desert guide boots for the first hunt here in Arizona wow the best I've used ever super comfortable and well worth the money I'll be buying some other kenetrek boots for sure !
As soon as I get moved to montana and get my hunting license this will be my first stop. Currently a whitetail hunter in Ohio so mostly have rubber boots. Montana’s gonna be a whole new ballgame. So much to learn.
What part of Ohio sir I’m from a small town north of canton ohio( Berlin center) I’ve considered relocating myself. I’ve worked in Montana several times in Billings in the refinery, red lodge was beautiful. I miss the area greatly
@@quintinkale1242 I was last in southern Ohio in Chillicothe and before that Millersport up east of Columbus. I made the move to Stevensville montana last may. Love it here.
@@JoryValley that’s awesome I graduated from hocking college in 2010 and wvu in 2013 for wildlife biology. I’m going to be on a elk hunt first week of Oct in plains Montana what should I expect for weather debating on insulated or non insulated boots
@@quintinkale1242 not sure about plains but here in the valley the weather is actually very mild in October, a lot like Ohio. Depends what altitude you’ll be hunting at as to weather. I hiked St. Mary peak last June and needed shorts in the valley but was in 6’ of snow towards the top. Obviously good merino wool socks will help. Also depends if you’re a hunter that sits still or someone that’s always moving. Could always get some external boot insulators to slip on when sitting. I’ve yet to hunt here hoping to be able to this coming season.
Thanks for the info randy I will be buying these today I will give up my Dinners boots I do a lot of couesdeer hi hunting in Southern Arizona the train eats up my boots down there thanks
I can truly say the mountain extreme boots are great after a small break in period their socks however for me are too long they are sized from 9-13 and the foot box is too long for my 10 1/2 and and bunch up I’ve never had this with any other socks over 50+ years boots are great socks not so much but only sizing
So how is the sizing between the mountain guide and the mountain extremes comparable? And the insulated vs the non- insulated? It's too far to drive from Ohio to Montana to try different ones on with gas prices. $500 boots become $1500 boots
Thanks for sharing. What happens when you go into any sporting goods store to purchase a high dollar boot is that the sales clerk is just that a “clerk” that really doesn’t know anything about fitting boots.
So many people have massively wide/flat feet. I've been wearing cowboy style boots since I could walk and every time I go with a friend or family member realize how many people literally CAN'T fit into a typical cowboy style boot. Even the EE kind.

@@JoryValley thanks for the speedy reply greatly appreciate your input shoot straight sir
Thanks for this. The boots I have now, I slip and slide in. Knowing this will help get good boots this year and make me a comfortable hunter😁

I wished you made a compression sock i wear your eversteps but i need compression socks

Long Nards yup that’s what a use but bought six different pairs of the kenetrek socks to try so they sit in my can’t use pile

How about making your pac boot in a WIDE width? You would have the corner on them market as no one else does.

I just want to know who asks these questions, it fits or it doesn’t
Same boot others are importing under other names
What? Which ones, they don’t look exactly like other boots that I’ve seen.
I know you would never steer us wrong Randy, but on the outside, Kenetrek boots look like the most uncomfortable boots ever made.
I can assure you after owning two pair of them, they’re very comfortable. I’ve got a buddy who wears the mountain extremes every day to work.
Not true.
