Hunting boots are a critical component of any successful hunt. Whether walking a short distance to your blind or trudging miles through rugged terrain, your feet are carrying the load. Without the right boots, you could give up early and lose out on that trophy just over the ridge. When selecting boots for hunting, it is extremely important to consider factors like waterproofing, insulation, shock absorption, sole and outsole tread, and ankle support. The 5 best hunting boots listed below include waterproof hunting boots in popular materials like leather and nylon.

Best boots for extreme terrains!!!!!

I am very tough on boots especially those for mountain hiking. These are great boots very well made, water proof, durable I use them in the Blue Ridge mountains in VA. Excellent grip very comfortable. I have the hardscrabble, 400 and the 1000 mountain extremes. Stiff when you first get them, but become more and more comfortable after broken in (appoximately 25 to 35 miles). Then they become like gloves. They handle all terrains very well. I've had mine three years now just added the 1000's. Most good boots last me a year these have outweighed my expectations. I'm sold completely on these. These boots are boots you can count on from start to finish they also have excellent customer service.

About Kenetrek

Sheep hunting tests you down to the core. It's brutal, exhausting & downright dangerous. We first started designing boots after an eight-day hunt in the Mackenzie Mountains of the Northwest Territories in 2002. The merciless country tested us in unimaginable ways, & I was winning the fight, until my feet made me want to lay down & die. What were once blisters became almost freakish gashes that took me down for the count. That's when I knew we had to design a better boot that could keep up with a high-country mountain sheep hunter. Since then, we've been designing, building & beating up boots in every brutal terrain conceivable, to make sure hunters, backpackers & hikers can go anywhere on the planet without ever experiencing boot failure. Today, thousands of outdoor enthusiasts wear Kenetrek boots to live their passions with unbelievable support, total comfort & confidence.

A good boot for the money

I use these boots for hunting and they keep my feet very dry and warm. The boots have good treads for walking and the upper part of the boot gives good support to the ankles. The insouls very comfortable and give good support to the bottom of the feet. The boots are just alittle heavy, but nice. Dave
