Review: Get to half size larger for thick socks - A little snug at first, but if you plan on wearing thermal pairs of socks, perhaps go a size larger, but I have a feeling that snugness will wear off once it’s broken in. The quality feels really good. After wearing outside 1 month , the toe area is surprisingly cold. I would definitely recommend at least getting a half size larger to accommodate thicker socks.
Review: Nice - Best boot ever... a little heavy... got it two day early... highly recommneded..great mountain boot for rocky and rugged terrain. very nice hunting boots

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tough hiking boot
*by J***Y on December 29, 2025*

Have had now for about 1 month. Boots are well made, very stiff and somewhat comfortable now that they have broken in. They are more of a cool weather boot. Not super warm but they would be hot in the heat of summer. Traction is good, ankle support is very good, soles are very stiff. They are well put together and I would expect them to be durable. Have not had them in the rain but did wear them in snow and waterproof was no issue. I would give them 4.5 if I could but rounded down due to stiffness.
