Unable to fully test,--too small By Doc from WY on 09/23/2009 Best Uses: Big Game Hunting, Bird Hunting Sizing: Feels full size too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Too small --my toes touched the end, so couldn't really further evaluate. Seemed to be well made otherwise.
I will buy another pair for back up By Grouse dady from Kentucky on 09/16/2009 Best Uses: Bird Hunting, Casual Wear, Cold Climate Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Good boot wide for narrow feet people. Hard to break in. Durribility cannot tell yet have only wore them for a week. Very soft kinda like wearing grampa's slippers. Wish some one would make a moc toe boot with a little more aggresive sole.
Great Boot, sadly made in China, yawn. By Greenhunter from Cedar Falls, IA on 09/10/2009 Pros: Bouncy, Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight, Waterproof Best Uses: Bird Hunting, Casual Wear Describe Yourself: Occasional Shooter Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Very much an Upland Hunting Boot. It features the usual Sewn toe and shallow tread that is synonymous with a boot of this type. But in addition to the usual trappings this boot does have a number of new features and few old one brought back.
First off the new features. While Kangaroo Leather isn't necessarily new to Upland Boots it is a relatively new concept to hunting boots. The quality of the leather is top notch coming from the good cuts and not the reject cuts of leather. Only thing I found that was wrong was there was some shoe polish still on the leather from when they were packed. This may explain the reason behind the felt divider that separates the boots from one another than the usual rice paper you would normally find in today's boots. Shark skin toe is also a new idea, and one that I don't normally see. If this holds up in the field and does what it says it does then it is a great feature. However, I must admit I do not know much about it though. Another good item is the return of a full leather liner. To common in today's boots the liners are some sort of fabric or worse the actual Gore Tex liner. Both types when put under normal wear and tear break down rapidly. Leather liners are the best at wear and tear, heck I have a pair of boots with a leather liner handed down to me from my grandfather that are at least 50 years old. Cushioning is great. This is were that bouncy comment comes in. The removable foot beds has a lot of cushion under the heel. You can definitively tell these are not your average foot beds.
The only things that I found to be a serious or bothersome issue is the very tops of the boots. They give you a distinct pinching sensation when you are wearing them. Maybe with further wearings this will disappear and stretch. Padding is not something I look to highly on though as, like fabric liners, it tends to break down rapidly. Also, another bothersome issue is that these are Limited Edition boots that are made in China. Not very Limited Edition as most footwear is made in China. If you wanted Limited Edition then have them made in Germany, England, USA, or help out our Slovak countries which sorely need the business. As it is I'm not one to put a stamp of approval on any item that calls itself Limited Edition that comes out of China. Hence the four stars. All in all though if one is willing to overlook that last issue you most assuredly will have a winner here.
By Siempre from Virginia on 09/07/2009 Describe Yourself: Occasional Shooter Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: On the first evening these boots arrived I put them on in the house to begin breaking them in and soon forgot I had them on. They were comfortable out of the box -- also, very handsome and apparently well-made. I look forward to many enjoyable days in the field.
By Adk woodworker from Lake George, N Y on 09/07/2009 Sizing: Feels half size too small Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Shoes were very difficult to get on because they were tight at the bridge of the ankle, very uncomfortable. Length and width were ok once you got them on.
By Bob White from Abilene, TX on 09/02/2009 Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I quail hunt in West Texas where good boots are as important as a good dog. These boots are as good as it gets! Good job.
By Duker from Tomahawk, WI on 09/02/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Comfortable lightweight boot.
By Pointing Dog from Stevens Point, WI on 08/24/2009 Describe Yourself: Occasional Shooter Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: A lot of boot for the money. Will take some time to sufficiently break-in. A great alternative to a $400 pair of custom boots.
