Well, after watching a man using Kenetrek's to hunt with this past year I decided to see what they were all about. After trying on a new pair, and they were really stiff. That $500 price tag and not knowing how they would be. I decided to go with used, so went to Ebay and found my size, placed a bid, and presto, they were at the house. By the way, 90% heals and looked great. They came from Kenetreks. (Sanitized them real well) They must have been returns for some reason. Anyway, for 40% of a new boot cost I decided to give them a try anyway. I put them on with my hunting socks and walked around the house and outside, they felt great. Someone had broken them in. They fit my foot well. The test was, I have a turkey hunt and I would use them for it. (Just in case I brought my other boots along as well). Well, I'm glad I got them. They were nice and comfortable. I was in wet snow/mud most of the time and no issues with leakage, as others have said they had. What I liked the most was no more traction issues while walking. My Danners seemed to slip and slide allot on different types of ground conditions and I seemed sometime to be going 3 steps forward and 1 step back when traveling uphills. When I was started hiking, I found that the boots hiked up on my heals. I re-laced them, made them a little tighter around the ankle, and never had the same issue. No foot fatigue. no leakage, at least on this trip. But, I like the way they felt on my foot. Just my 2 cents. Anyone have any thoughts of used boots off Ebay?
