[QUOTE="RockyRandy, post: 2091774, member: 108446"] Well here I go and throw my two cents worth in. I bought a pair of Kenetrek desert hikers and they were super stiff and they took for ever to get them broken (so I taught) I hunt the desert so I'm in lava rocks all day long and was chasing a herd of elk across the lava flows after several miles they gave us the slip and I took a rest and took my boots off and let my feet rest and my sock a chance to dry. My heels were sore and I could tell I was starting to get blisters so I put some bandaids on my heels and headed back. By the time I got back I had blisters on both heels, needless to say i was going to give them away. My friend I was hunting with gave me some advice! I know what you paid for the boots I would work them a little more and and get them broke in. (I have hunted in these boots for 3 years pryer to this time). So I decided i would use them in my upcoming Sugar Beet harvest, (I'm a farmer) I wore them everyday for 20 days and by the end they fit my feet like a glove and I love them now. In the mean time I had bought two different pairs of Crispi. The crispy and lighter but I don't believe they are built as well as the Kenetrek but are the most comfortable boots out of the box I have ever wore. Truth to be known I truly think any of the boots that have been mentioned on this form will serve you well, just take the time and effort to get them broke in properly. I had a guy that worked for me that was in the military and he told me the way they broke their boots in was to fill them up with water and they put them on and never took them off for 48 hours and they fit perfect! Interesting thought!!!! [/QUOTE]
