I am a fan of both the Kenetrek and Lowa boots. My every day work boot is a Kenetrek, but it is just about time to retire the pair.
They are a stiff boot, but comfortable enough to wear around the office or working in the field. My only issue with the boot is that I do get some heel slip when I am in steep country. That is not the case with my Lowa Hunters. I love my Lowas, but they are very stiff. This is good for getting up the mountain, but I usually take them off or untie when I get back to the pick-up.
Boots, like lots of hunting paraphernalia, are different for everyone, but for me the Kenetrek will be on my foot when chasing birds, but the Lowas get the nod when I am headed to the hills. Luckily I have a few to choose from.
I have worn out a pair of light weight Asolos and Salomons. I was impressed with both, but preferred the Asolo. It has been too long, so I don’t remember the model, but would go with either again.
I have a pair of Danner Canadians that I despise. I hate the fit and comfort and now wondering why I haven’t just thrown them in the garbage.
As I mentioned, everyone’s foot will be different, but Kenetrek and Lowa Hunters are what my wheels prefer.
