I love these videos, one thing I would add that has worked really well for me elk hunting over the past 14 years. I started taking two different pairs of boots on my hunts. Either two of different brands or two of the same brand but different models. And I try and wear a different pair everyday, this gives your feet a different feel everyday and also lets them try out between use and reset your insoles. Yes, I know if you are bivy hunting this can't be done everyday but if you can change them out anytime you have a chance, it dose make a difference. Keep the videos coming guys!
Finally, you guys give Tall Paul props. He fitted me for a pair of boots about a month ago and I love them. Thanks Paul. Looking forward to the next podcast where you guys take him along on a hunt.
Schnees boots are an amazing boot I will probably never try anything else again after having many boot brands, but living here in Canada it was a little scary paying that money the first time and hoping they work out. Canada is so far behind and limited on gear and access so go hunt online has been huge for a lot of us.
There have been times in videos and podcasts that sometimes I feel like I can’t afford to keep financially with western hunting. But I really think you guys did a great job with this podcast covering what an average person can get and afford and do. Thanks again, lots of great information!
It's not about keeping up with the Joneses. These guys are able to test the best gear (a dream job). But there's plenty of gear out there at lower costs that work just fine.
I’m in the buy once cry once club. I’ve had my lapponias for 3 years (was a danner guy before and was getting a year of hiking scouting and hunting out of them at most) but the higher end boots are just a better choice if you’re putting in a lot of mileage. I’ve got another season or two left in the crispis, so in my opinion I was better off buying a 300 ish dollar boot and getting 4 years out of it than I was buying a brand new 120 pair every single year
I’d be happy to tell you I’m the kenetrek guy 😂. I just feel like with my experience leather breathes better. I wear a leather boot everyday of my life and they never stink. Get a synthetic boot which I’ve done and they stink like hell
Thank you Trail very informative. Paul is one of the most Knowledgeable on all the products at GoHunt. I would like to know what insoles he would recommend for my kenetrek Extreme 400 gr of ins. Thank you so much for sharing this. God's Blessings to you all on all your adventures
I’d be interested in knowing what the functional differences of a full Rand vs partial Rand boot would be. Also tempted on just trying to get a pair of Salomon’s or danners on sale!
When are you going to get young Omar back on the podcast. I ran into Omar at a gas station in Montana in November. He was amazing and gave me a gift card for repping GOHUNT gear. Need to hear if he filled his elk tag. He showed me some pictures of a couple nice bulls.
Have any of you ever tried Meindl boots? They aren't hiking specific like these ones you're reviewing, but they are the best boots I've ever worn for hiking, and they take a beating. Over 5 years of Idaho mountain abuse before the first stitch gave way. I've replaced the insoles twice and laces once.
Hi there, I have indeed owned a few pairs of Meindl boots that I purchased from Cabela's maybe fifteen plus years ago. I don't believe they are offered anymore, but the couple pairs I had were really good and I agree with your assessment.
@@trailkreitzer9163 I got mine at Cabelas also. It looks like Meindl has taken all sales in house, no more retailers. Since you've worn them, would you suggest any of these boots as a close match, especially with durability?
Hi there, it's a Hanwag but I'm. not certain on the exact name yet. We should have it in the gearshop mid March. It's a nice boot, relatively flexible, tacky tread and a bit taller. To me it feels like it would be a nice early to mid season hiker for moderate terrain.

This was the best backcountry boot podcast that I have seen. Absolutely love these podcasts.
Paul is the man…👊🏻 Porter just walking right into it! 🤣

You don’t need a different boot for every day of the week and every shape of rock that you’re encountering though I do agree
What up Jared? Killing it at Gohunt.

Best all purpose boot is the Crispi Guide 200 or 400 gram insulation.
I have a longer second toe too.

@trailkreitzer9163...what superfeet insole model you run?

What is that boot that has the yellow sole? I think you said it was new not even out yet?

What happened to the dude with the big mustaches that used to film a lot and do elk hunts with trail? I can’t remember his name right now
Neville was his name lol just thought of it
Chris Neville… he moved
Met a girl and moved to Colorado. I think he’s still involved to some extent.
Thank you guys. Always liked Neville
What was Paul’s instagram…must be hearing it wrong bc I can’t find. Thanks
