One of these days I'm going to Bozeman, going in to kenetrek and thanking Jim! I've met him before but I was super young.
I use to buy Danner boots but now that they're made in China I wouldn't spend $10 for them. I would buy a new pair every 2-3 years. I paid $400 for my Kenetrek boots 5 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made on boots. At the end of the day I really don't want to take them off. They hug my feet like a glove and give me the ankle support needed chasing animals here in Idaho.
I am getting ready to order a pair of kenetrek hardscramble, been in danners for 20 years. I am pretty sure their high end boots are still USA made
Screw China.
The boots are awesome. Saved my ankles several times on a Wyoming elk hunt last year. Worth every penny.
Which ones?
For the last forty two years as a field Forester I learned a few things about footwear. Buying high quality, durable boots is the only way to go if you hunt, hike or walk hard. A two hundred dollar pair of boots will last maybe two years, where as the six hundred dollar Kenetrek boots have lasted me ten years.
My $180 Asolo boots, yes on sale, have out lasted all of my expectations. Just saying.

There are good boot makers in Europe such as Asolo,Hanwag, Lowa and others that make durable high quality boots. I got a great deal on a pair of Lowa boots at camp saver.com recently. Looks like you found a great deal too!
It would be interesting, what a pair of Kenetrek boots would feel like, if they were manufactured like the, Red Wing Men's TruHiker 3-In. Hiker Boots Style #6672 as an additional option available.
I ordered and am trying a pair of mountain extreme 1000 as I have cold feet. I have a bad ankle on one side and I notice the mountain extremes don't have much side to side ankle support for side hilling. I realize I could upgrade to the guide or guide ultra. I am curious what the theory is behind having more side to side motion in the ankle vs locking them in place like a skii boot. Is there an advantage I am missing in being able to flex your ankle to match the slope when side hilling? I thought the idea was to keep it stiff so you could edge it in.
Randy can we get a video on the Kenetrek Corrie 3.2 Hiker. Be appreciated. Thanks
$500, $600? Well, each to their own. I used to wear custom made, $700 Whites when I was in my 20s. Good boots that lasted forever, but super heavy.
Last year I discovered knee-high moccasins with Vibram type soles. Zero break-in, comfy as hell, no ankle support, $100. Wear em on all my desert fall hunts, and hunts with light snow. I have a pair of waterproof Ariat hikers that cost me $79 on sale, square toe style, with gaiters, most comfortable hiker I have ever had. 3 years old and going strong.
Bottom line: I am not spending $500,$600 on a pair ******* boots. Can I afford it? Sure. Still not doing it.
Love Randy Newberg, still not gonna buy the Newberg howa for $1500. 🤷♂️
Really nice boots! The lighter boots would work for upland bird hunting!
One thing about these boots, they are freaking expensive. Not sure if they are any better than Kuiu Sherpa’s or Krispies. But definitely on the higher price point then the rest.
Do you have eee width options?
Really wanted the boots(MT Extreme) to work... but had two pairs fail in the waterproofing within the first year of each and out sole was terribly slick. Customer service was great though!
TooLucky406 had the exact same experience
Did you keep them waxed?
@@edwardrogers8507 Wax them with Kenetrex wax(great wax by the way) and had their gaitors on. Tall wet grass is a nemesis. Both boots were tested back at headquarters and fail waterproofing test. Back to back failures were enough for me to sell the third warranty pair! Like I mention, really want it to work being from MT myself, but this is my real world experience.
Man some bad luck I love mine no problems
I would like to see which boot they suggest for hunting in snow higher than your ankle??
Use gaiters. They have a video on that.
Nice to do an update video on one of your long time partners and local companies in Kenetrek Boots, especially if you can get the legendary Jim Winjum on video with you. I remember the one with I think Wyatt the marketing manager, that series was good too. Glad to see that they offer such a variety and take more variables into consideration, plus they have women's boots and I am sure some youth models.
After watching you randy for years I've always wanted to own a pair of kenetrek boots but could never afford a pair after years of waiting I was finally able to buy a pair of mountain extreme boots to use on my elk and deer hunts. I hate to say though for the amount of money they cost I wasn't impressed with the boots they are really uncomfortable and I have cold feet so even with following the foot care and proper sock system my feet freeze in them also the k talon sole wont clean out mud and you loose traction. Anyways love your videos and the content you put out but I don't think I'll be buying kenetrek again in the future. Looking forward to more videos
Tim Bell try lowa There half price and the most comfortable I’ve owned
Are you getting hotspots when you use them or are they a little too snug on your feet?
Not available in Europe... too bad.
My hunts without Kenetrek had greater fatigue than with different manufacturers. Lowa Germany is the only comparable manufacturer. Well worth the money. I recommend Kenetrek over anything else. I’m glad I get to use Kenetrek Hard Tactical for work. Finally, when I got divorced, my ex wife put the Kenetrek boots I bought her while we dated in her first bag to leave. Randy, you have great friends.
Let me think do I get a boot or a tag?holy Molly are they expensive!!!!.
That was my first thought too but if they truly last 10 years it doesn't really matter. It comes up to 50 bucks a year.
$600...I giggled.
Lol so apparently in the east we only hunt out of treestands? Come hunt the blue ridge and Allegheny mountains chasing hounds. I wear kennetreks. Great boots
Yes sir doing the same in Haywood
Do alot of folks do that kind of hunting? Or just a few?
I grew up in the Appalachians and put many miles hunting public lands and normally didn’t see anyone go more than a 1/4 mi from the dirt forest service rd. I’m not a tree stand hunter. My miles still hunting/spot and stalk were wearing cheap Herman Survivors on my feet. I now live in Colorado and hunt rugged terrain packing in 5+ miles with gear and hauling out elk meat...I have expensive boots now that I would never need in the Blue Ridge where I grew up.
Opinions vary. Our mtns are nothing but rock here an I’ve hunted all over including northern idaho. When all you do is cover ground hunting a solid boot is a good investment no matter what state your in
Redwing or bust.
Redwing made in China.
@@20cameron1 its depends, you have to watch where its made now. thing is redwing sold out to the ccp. thats why i bought kenetrek hardscrabble. because if you found the usa made redwings they still will cost you 300-400$
