New hunting boots

Postby Madison COunty » 10 02, 2016 •  [Post 1]

I just ordered some Schnees 200g bear tooth boots. I am getting tired of buying boots every year and having them fall apart. Has anyone tried these boots?

Not only have I tried them I've been using mine for several years. I must have 6 or 7 seasons on them and they are still going strong. They are really great boots. Amazingly Waterproof. Leather so they don't stink like Chinese made synthetic boots. Super comfortable. I never had any fit issues but everyone's feet are different. I don't have the insulated version but my feet tend to run warm and most of my hunting is earlier in the season it seems.
A few years ago I had some friends help me pack a bull out from a pretty remote canyon. It was a grunt. When we got back to the truck and were having a beer everyone looked at my feet and was amazed I still had my boots on. They were all barefoot in the creek and rubbing their sore feet. I didn't even notice that I still had on my Beartooths. That's a comfortable boot.
You will not be disappointed in your purchase.

They look like some great boots. I'll be honest I haven't elk hunted yet but pheasant hunt all winter here in Iowa and also do a little deer hunting. I will report back later after I have tried them.

Oh yeah, I love mine! On my second pair. Extremely comfy. I had a thread last summer on their awesome customer service too. I highly recommend them.

My new boots were waiting on my front porch tonight when I got home from work :D I tried them on and they are very comfortable right out of the box. The quality of them is outstanding!
