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.
Its totally up to what you are looking for, It's a preference thing for sure. Just depends on what you want. Neither boot is bad for me. The top lace hooks could be a 1/4" back in my opinion though.Would you think it would be smarter to do beartooths?

I’m mid way through the season on the bear tooth. They’ve been on 3 elk hunts and a moose hunt with more hunts planned. So far, so good!Looking for new hiking boots and wondering if the schnee kestrels would be a good investment or if I should go with something else. Thanks
How does the Mission fit compared to the Kestrel?I rotated between the Beartooths, Kestrals, and Mission 2.0 boots (yes, I like Schnees boots). The Kestrels have about 3 fulls seasons on them. Still look and feel great. The boots probably have 2 or 3 more seasons worth of use in them, if not more. They are real nice for dry desert hunts and dry archery elk. Good support. They have stayed waterproof but due to their low height water can seep in. Overall great light and fast boots.
