3rd season with Kennetrek grizzlies. Bottoms are trashed. I’d look into Hoffmans

My wife has 12.inch Hoffman's and I have 14 inch Whites. We both grease the leather upper really good and use orthotics. Both are warm, comfortable, and durable. And both can be rebuilt which is a plus.
The way life should be.

I appreciate all the replies.
I'm going to try the Hoffmans.
24HCF in its entirety, is solely responsible for why my children do not have college funds, my mortgage isn't paid-off and why I will never retire early enough to enjoy the remainder of my life.

so went with Kenetrek and am very happy with them

Have both also and like them although I use them more in early fall or if doing a lot of walking. I don't consider them a cold weather stand-hunting boot, at least not for me. Stand-hunting I need more insulation. I feel the same way. My feet get cold when Stand hunting. I have the hunter II, and the Extremes

I have the hunter II, and the Extremes Standing hunting in below freezing weather is when I pull out the Milsurp Bunny boots. Cold feet problem gone with them.

I will also vouch for Hoffman’s. I have a pair of Outbacks. They are 200 gram boots so not the warmest for sitting in a tree stand. However, they are hands down the toughest, highest quality boot I own. Walking or still hunting they are fine. Support is equal to my Crispi leather boots.
I wear them whenever there’s snow. They are in great condition after several years use. The leather and other materials are heavier duty than Schnee’s.

The outfitter I worked for bought me my first pair of Schnees 30 years or so ago. Had em resoled twice and bought a second pair. The quality has gone down in Schnees imo! I bought a pair of Hoffman last year and the quality is Tier One!

I've had Schnees since mid 80"s. only complaint is They're tough to put on if you have a high instep.
