I'd like something I can get out and walk in in winter. My Sorels are shot (after only 3 seasons) and Bunny Boots are just too much, and don't have great traction. The Schnee's appear to have substantial tread, and are made in USA, but I've never seen a pair up close and are a bit hesitant to order them with a little more info. Thanks

Far superior quality to the old Sorels and much better traction than the bunny boots. I can't tell which model they are but I think they are the Hunter 2, 10 inch. The little traction bobs on the sole might take some getting used to on rudder pedals but nothing you can't handle Mean As Nails

The bad: the quality of their rubber lowers has went way downhill. Lucky to get 2 or 3 years before they split and crack...a real shame. You can read the the same thing on several hnting forums. I have switched to Kennetrek Northerns. Time will tell, only had them for one season...very similar build to the Schnees. Last edited by midlander; 10/03/21 06:25 PM. Reason: Edit

I have a pair of extreme’s and they are leather. 30/06, I have 2 different pairs for over 10 years and no complaints. I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

The 10" Guide Pac Boot, and the 14" Outfitter. I can't say how good their new boots are, but these take a good whopping every fall and winter for 20+ years. They are well dried, cleaned and oiled every year and new bottoms about every 5 years or so.

I have the kennetrek's and have been good so far, but dad has had his rubber bottom's crack twice on him. He wears his a lot more than I do though. ------------------------------------- DJT & MTG in 2024!
