Thanks for the chance to give some feedback.

1. I prefer an 8” boot for most hunting situations. I like the extra support over a 6” boot. I never wear 10” boots.

2. I prefer a non insulted boot for most hunting situations.

3. I require a boot to be waterproof and this is very important. Wet feet can make a hunt miserable when your miles from the truck and living on a mountain for days.

4. For additional features I like my boots to be supportive and have a good insole.

Hey Roksliders, we’re happy to be part of this forum and want to get to know you and your footwear needs better. We’d like to kick off this relationship with a complimentary pair of our NEW 10” Hunter Boots (see them here) for one of you. Just tell us a few features you would like to see in our next hunting boots, by answering these question in a short paragraph, and you will be entered in our drawing on October 25th for a pair of boots. Also stay tuned by hitting the “watch” button (upper right of this post in full-site post), as we will be doing this again in the future.


1) Boot Height: 6”, 8” or 10”

2) Insulated (how much) or Non-Insulated

3) Waterproof or Non-waterproof

4) Any added features that would make a good boot even better

Just answer those four questions and you're in for the drawing.


If you win, we'd love to hear about your experiences with the NEW Hunter 10" Boot. Just post up on this thread or link us to a new thread if you start one. Thank you!

1.) 8” minimum. 10” is good too.

2.) Non-Insulated

3.) Waterproof

4.) A durable sole is very important, and if a boot has a can be resoled it is a big plus. I’m a wildland firefighter and if they can meet the specs for that I think there is a big demand for hiking style boots (instead of logger).

1.) Different Levels of sole stifness
2.)Locking Lace System at the ankle
3.)Waterproofing
4.)Durable Rand
5.) Tread Design that wears allows a softer material up front allowing purchase on bare rocks
6.)Varying Boot Heights 6”-8”-10” 👍🏼

1) 10”
2) non-insulated
3) waterproof
4) stiff shank, aggressive tread, high rand and a material that does not crack when the conditioner is washed out and the boot dries.

8" high
Waterproofing is one of the most important features.
600 gram for late season non insulated early season.
I wish someone would step up and provide an insole made for their boot that wasn't a piece of cardboard with felt over it. Good arch support and cushy. I always have to order some type of insole.

1) Boot Height: 8”

2) Insulated (400 GR) / Non-Insulated

3) Waterproof

4) Aggressive sole for side hilling in steep terrain. I’d like to see stiff ankle support for side hilling with heavy loads so it’s harder to torque your ankles side to side yet keeping the mobility front to back.

1. Gotta be waterproof!
2. Gotta be full leather for durability. I have cordura uppers and like them, but they definitely show rock abrasions.
3. Not super light but not a full leg workout either.
4. For me, I gotta be able to get them in a wide. Dang fat feet.

1) 10"
2) non-insulated
3) non waterproof
4) completely eliminate the ankle lacing hook found on so many boots that hits directly on my anklebone every single time and even if skipped - creates a sore on my foot.

(hunt predominantly eastern CO prairie country)

I would like a full grain leather 8" boot with no insulation, 100% waterproof, with a full rubber rand and that fits perfect. Added bonus if it's not squeaky when walking.

For my purposes a 6", non insulated, non water proof boot that would last longer than a year. Lasting longer than a year would be the best benefit! Thanks
