I am new to mountain hunting boots. I purchased the Kenetrek Hardscrabble, I will say they are the only boots I have tried. My mistake. I have put about 40 miles or so on these boots mountain hiking, I am from the east so Appalachian mtns, fairly rugged terrain. My question is: They feel pretty good, however I do get hot spots on my heels. No blisters, but I do use moleskin and smart wool socks with liners. I have only done day trips, and my concern is multiple days hiking in sheep country if the hot spots would turn into trouble. Or would they just be hot spots. I do have the L&S insoles and they are awesome, but I have considered trying the Scarpa Kinesis Pro GTX boot. I would appreciate any wisdom and guidance. Feel free to be brutally honest. The Rokslide web site and forum is the best and I have learned so much. Thanks to Rokslide and to you all!
