"I am a (non-resident) registered guide in Alaska primarily guiding for Dall's sheep. I have been guiding and hunting in Alaska and other parts of the US for the past 12 years or so. I have used your Hardscrabble boots for most of that time, in fact have worn through the first pair and recently purchased additional pair which have been fantastic.
Kenetrek boots are one of the few boots I have ever worn which do not require much if any "break-in" period. As an example, I had a client arrive in Fairbanks a few years ago and the airlines had lost all of his luggage and rifle case. When he arrived in Fairbanks, we went immediately to Sportsman's Warehouse and outfitted him with Kenetrek boots and everything else he needed for a 10 day sheep hunt. My client had NO problems with his Mountain Extremes, not even a blister or "hot spot". I have recommended your product line to most all of my clients and hunting friends. I am excited about trying the Bridger Ridge High boots for any upcoming early season archery elk hunt in Arizona. If they perform as well as the Hardscrabble's, you will have one happy and loyal customer. Thanks again for a making a great product that has lasting value."
