What is the difference between your boots and others?
The Kenetrek Pac Boots are built with the finest materials available. From the quality rubber bottoms, the heavy duty oil tanned leather uppers to the quilted liners, all of the materials are the best. Even the boot laces and the thread the boots are sewn with are of superior quality. The other major difference is the fit of the Kenetrek Boots. These boots are designed with a supportive fit to allow all day walking comfort. Where are they manufactured?
The Kenetrek Pac Boots are currently assembled one pair at a time in our Bozeman, Montana factory. How long will they last?
There are too many factors to define how long our boots will last for each customer bu rest assured we warantee the boots to be free from defects until the bottoms are worn out. At that time, you can send the boots in to be rebuilt at around half of the cost of a new pair. Are they waterproof?
The rubber bottoms are completely waterproof. The leather uppers are highly water resistant. With a waterproofing treatment like Montana Pitch Blend, the water resistance of the leather uppers increase dramatically. In extremely wet conditions a seam sealer like Freesole can be used to seal all of the seams and the junction between the leather and the rubber bottom. Do I need to treat the leather uppers?
By treating the leather uppers with Montana Pitch Blend regularly, you not only increase the water repellency of your boots, but you extend the life of the leather uppers dramatically. How warm are the boots?
So many factors come into play here. Things like activity, type of socks, smoking, drinking alcohol, circulation, and what you are wearing on your head. We have found that the number one factor in cold feet is a boot that fits too tight. Even though a snug fit is ideal for walking, you should loosen the boot laces or wear a lighter sock for maximum warmth. At Kenetrek, we are trying to be honest with our ratings. If we comfort rate a boot to be warm to 0 degrees, that means we have used the boot and find the rated temperature to be on the lower end of the comfort zone with mild activity. If you would like to compare insulation ratings to other boot manufacturers, subtract 40 degrees. How do I know what size to order?
Kenetrek Pac Boots are available in whole sizes only and are sized to incorporate a good quality boot sock. If you wear a half size, round up to the next whole size. Are the boots available in Womens sizes?
The boots are available in unisex sizes 5-15. Women should order one to one and half sizes down from their normal shoe size. What is the best height to buy?
The height of the boot comes down to personal preference. We sell both 10" and 13" heights equally well. The 10" boot is the standard boot height offering complete support. The taller boot gives more protection to your legs for horseback riding. The 13" height boots also provide higher water protection. Will these boots fit into stirrups?
Yes, but as with any rubber bottom boot, caution must be used. Do not slide your foot all the way in to the stirrups. The extra insulated Northern boot should only be used with oversized stirrups. What kind of socks are best?
We recommend a two sock system. A quality, fitted liner sock with a good quality wool blend fitted boot sock over the top. The weight (thickness) of the boot sock can be adjusted to customize the fit of your boots. ie. Narrow foot = extra heavy weight sock, wide foot = lightweight sock. Are the liners removable?
Yes, this is a key feature of our boots. Removable liners allow much easier and faster drying. Many customers actually purchase an extra set of liners and rotate them daily.
