I’ve got a pair of Kenetrek Mountain Extremes that I’ve just gotten broken in. I got them because it seems that they’re the gold standard for a mountain boot. They’re really comfortable for heavy pack hikes (if a bit heavier than I’d prefer), but today I was hiking in the rain and I noticed they were extremely slippery on anything hard (rocks, boards, metal). I almost slipped off a wooden bridge over a creek that was slanted just a bit. It seems to me that that it would be kind of dangerous hiking in rocky terrain in the mountains in the rain with them being that slippery. Has anyone else noticed this? Is this common with sturdy mountain boots like this? Any recommendations on other boots to try?
