I like mine. They have held up well. My only complaint is it took a while to break them in. Being a 1 flex stiffness they were harder to break in than my Timberline's. Great boot though. Sole holding up well. Still waterproof. Ankle support is not comparable to the Timberline's though.
I have a pair in size 9.5ee. I wanted to get a shorter height pair to go with my Beartooth’s but the Kestrels are quite a different feel from them. I don’t mind them but I would have gone with the Beartooth mid’s next time.

Boots are weird. I love my Kennetrek Mountain Extremes, couldn't even wear the Hardscrabbles. Instant blisters.
I have worn almost every kind of Schnees boot there is. The Kestrel is the only one that works for me. All the other ones I have had some type of issue with. Heel slippage, leaky, etc. So far the Kestrels have been my go to, especially in warmer weather.
