Archery Elk Boot Recommendations

I’m sure I’ll get flamed for this but… the Under Armour Hovr Dawn are extremely comfortable and have pretty darn good support for a hyped up basketball shoe. If you can find some on sale I would try it out. And I own / use traditional “ mountain hunting boots” like Lowa and Hanwag as well.

Go somewhere you can try on some and pick the most comfortable boot to your foot. That beats any brand! $100 comfortable boots beat $500 uncomfortable boots every time

I have always worn Salomon quest boots for everything, but I picked up a pair of Salomon x ultra 360 at Sierra for a good deal. They feel more like a trail runner. I think I am going to give them a try this September.

Kenetrek Mountain Extremes fit me well and have held up to a good amount of use & abuse.

I use to be a big fan of stuff boots, wore Lowas and Scarpas for a long time. The last couple of years I switched to Altra lone peaks and my feet have been great. I have regular mid hikers for most days and some GTX for when it gets wet out.

Let me just preface this with “I love quality equipment/gear”. I bought my first pair of Crispi boots in 2012 (Kanada Uninsulated). They were my first pair of “high quality” hiking/hunting boots. I loved them!

I ended up losing them after a couple years. I jumped around across Kenetrek, Lowa, and Zamberlain since. I like trying new stuff.

That said, I never really loved any of those other brands.

Fast forward to 2 weeks ago and I received my new pair of Crispi Kenai GTX Uninsulated boots.

Out of the box, they felt like home when I put them on. Maybe it’s just my foot, but man…I will never stray to another boot manufacturer again.

Crispi - all the way, in my book!

Vote for Crispi Summit or Attiva, as others have said go uninsulated.

I like to protect my feet in a major way when I’m hunting. Especially on a “high stakes tag”.

I wear these. They are a bit heavy but they protect my feet and I have never had foot problems or sore feet while hunting.
