Bought these boots after extensive research to do some serious hunting in Alaska. Boots broke in great and was completely satisfied until I took them out on my first hunt. First time really putting them to the test and the rubber toe split on the top. Contacted Kenetrek and explained the situation, they said they are still under warranty and to send them in. Stated I would but it was still in the middle of hunting season. They said no worries, just send them in when you can. After sending in my boots, Kenetrek contacted me and said it was my fault that the damage had been caused by heat, which they had not been. They essentially told me I was lying and they were not covered. I would not recommend these boots to anyone. They broke down on my first hunt and they do not stand behind their product. By Zamberlans instead!
