Amazing Boots!

"The whole process of ordering the boots was super easy. I called Kenetrek and told them I missed the sale but they still gave me the sale price. The customer service through Kenetrek is top notch and always has been. The Tac Boot was comfortable right out of the box and had minimal break in. Working a 12hr shift in these is no problem and I have zero foot pain. Another great product from Kenetrek. Much thanks to the staff."

Great boots!

"These boots are great, I had lots of back trouble & surgeries before I found Kenetrek’s. I now wear Kenetrek’s all the time! What a difference, can’t say enough. They did more for my back than any shots, therapy or surgeries ever did. I wear Hard Tactical everyday & Mountain Extreme when hiking or hunting, also great boots."

Best boots

"I really like all my Kenetrek boots these are no exception to that. Top quality boots and customer service. Best boots I’ve ever had, and being a retired F/F I have worn lots of different boots."

Michael F. (5/5)

Outstanding.

"Without exaggeration, these are the highest quality, most comfortable duty boots I have ever purchased. For years, I have spent (in total) thousands, and I mean it, on "quality" boots and this company has redefined the term "quality. " As a critical care paramedic in one of the countries busiest EMS service, I need a boot that stands up to it all. All weather, varying moisture levels, frequent changes of cold outside to hot inside, icy vs hot and dry terrain and a boot that allows for me to be deep in the woods one hour w/ a SAR then in a hospital ICU the next hour transporting a vented patient. There has yet to be one environmental challenge and/or change that this boot has not excelled in. Recent traction in a severe winter storm was shockling impressive. Yup, a customer for life."

Best boots I've ever owned

"I have six sets of Kenetrek boots. Mountain Extreme NI,400,1000, LCP NI, LCP NI ST, and Hard Tactical. Where at least one of these every day. Mountain Extreme boots I've had for over ten years and still just like new. LPC I wear for work everyday. Last twice as long as any other boots I've tried and even when the eventually wear out they still feel like the first day I put them on. The Hard Tactical boots are new to me but im sure they will stand up to the Kenetrek name."

Excellent Boot

"Best boot I’ve ever owned. As law enforcement in Alaska with harsh environments this is an excellent patrol boot."

All usage

"Also use them as primary upland hunting boots. Comfort is key for older joints"

Comfortable boots

"Good comfortable boots"

ANTHONY R. (5/5)

Supposed to be a tactical boot but isn’t

"Very disappointed in this boot. I have 2 other pairs of kenetrek boots and love them for what they were bought for. This one is no different than my set of mountain guides just uninsulated and in black leather. This boot is way too stiff to be a tactical boot when walking on hard surfaces it sounded like you had heals on. The one day I did use these boots my feet were soaking wet by end of shift. The only good thing was kenetrek took them back and refunded me my money. If you are looking for a mountain hunting boot these wouldn’t be bad anything else I would consider something else."

Garbage man tested. 👍

"Theses boots are very well made, I get in and out of a truck approximately 150 times a day and need good support. This is my second pair of Kennetreck boots 1st ones were the LPC boots and they were good too."
