Best boots

[Threejs]

I'm looking for new boots. I have had 6-8 pairs of danner elk hunters and really like them. But I have never been in the Rock and shale of sheep country with them. So I was looking for some input on new boots.

Thanks

I have been a sheep hunter for 20 plus years ,and the best boots for me so far are Hanwag boots very good boots I went with the tall Trapper style . These boots look very similar to Kenatrex Boots witch I hear are great boots as well.

I also have been sheep hunting for years and I wear the Lowa Sheep Hunter. They have held up very well.

Another vote for Kennetrec!!!

Kenetrek, unless it's real cold the uninsulated with a mid-weight wool sock work great.

Thanks for the input. What kenetrec do you guys use? There are a few options.

Best boots I have ever put on my feet are Schnees

Kenitrecs chewed my feet up more than once. I had them stretched then I ended up getting the new improved pair and a simple 4hr elk hunt on flat sandy land I got yet another heal blister. The end for keni's.

I've loved my lowas, so far I think they are hands down the best boots I've put on. Never had any issue w/ break in nor blisters.

Do you like them for general hunting or just for steep mountain stuff? I'll be looking for a new pair soon, but we don't always hunt in the steep stuff and I can't really swing for 2 pair.

Kennetrek boots (mountain extremes) have felt like heaven on my feet. I have been after elk, mule deer and antelope in them over various terrain. If I were you, I would go to a local store and try them on because everyone's feet are different.
