    Lowa resoling services

    They were waterproof up to a point. Regarding waterproofnessI think of it in 2 categories. Can I stream cross and stay dry and can it stay dry in dewy, wet grass. 2nd category is will it stay dry in a all day rain storm. When I sent the boots off they were good in the first category, and okay...

    Hey Folks, Thought on giving an update on my Lowa Ranger resole: Well, when they say it will take 4 months they were not kidding. I got them a few weeks back. Had the outsole and the midsole replaced. They replaced the rand on both boots. Great job. No goobs of glue anywhere and very clean...

    I have arthritis in both of my feet. One is due to surgery on one foot in 2016, and the other for overuse in the big toe area. Here is what I have used and what has not worked: 1) CBD oil, expensive, supposedly good stuff, not gas station brads 2) Arnica gel 3) Biofreeze, distracts the pain with...

    Women hunting boots for Alaska dall sheep hunt?

    Best thing about REI is you can really know if it works by using it for a year outside and if it doesn't work you can take it back. Saves a lot of aggrevation. Unfortunately, over the years thier boot selection has gotten lighter and lighter.

    I have a pair. I think the same year as well. Well worth the money you are paying for used. If they fit, and meet the use it is intended for, you are getting a good deal.

    stiff hunting boots/injury

    Hello Folks, Sorry for the late reply. I wanted to thank all of you who contributed to this thread. It confirmed many things that I was aware of and I needed more opinions to confirm. I will give it more time, try some new things, and at that point fish, or cut bait. Bought them to solve...

    stiff hunting boots/injury

    Thank you for your reply. These are the things that I have been thinking about the most. Everything else has a mid foot flex. These do not. However These have a rocker sole which I thought would mitigate the loss of flex and make it easier on the feet. On level ground they are almost self...

    stiff hunting boots/injury

    I have had these since June, and have had no problems with them. I have used these for moderate elevation gains and still no problem. The last few weeks however they have been bothering me and I was on flat terrain. I understand the higher shaft height, but could it be that paired with the...

    So what is the difference between the Lowa hunter and the Kenetrek? If you don't mind me asking, what do you mean by killing your feet?

    stiff hunting boots/injury

    I can understand blisters and hot spots, but what is it about a stiffer boot that would cause Planter fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis?

    Leather lined boots list

    I always wondered about Alico Boots. STP used to carry them on a regular basis. Love the idea of leather lined and not gor-tex.

    Looking for wide toed boot

    Hi Folks, Thank you all for your recommendations! I have both the Lowa Ranger and Renegade in "Wides" The Renegade I think needs a wider last. I have been told that many companies used to size up in length for wide instead of building a wider last. I have worn Keens before, the problem is my...

    Sturdy boots without Gore-tex

    Thank you all for your replies. I certainly do appreciate it. Those schnees leather-lined boots look really nice. Just wondering if the wide is wide enough (lol). Do you know when Schnees have their sales typically in the calendar year? I live in the Southeast and during the summer it is...

    Looking for wide toed boot

    Hi Folks, Thanks for your replies! Thank you for reminding me about skipping a lace at the toe box. I currently have this and another pair of boots (lowa rangers) where I have it looped from the first to the second lace eyelet with a loose surgeon's knot. I will try this again. I have tried a...
