| A pretty tight fit for my size at a nominal "12", so a thin sock only needed for my "E" fitting size 11 (imperial)foot. A woolen army sock was too tight for walking thru' bush to rainforest perch-pools as my toes cramped-up badly. But with a light synthetic sock [or none atall]it seems very comfortable and also keeps my feet dry. Seems robust. This boot is a really a big improvement on my former perch-fishing kit of an Auscam smock and 10" "Wellington" synthetic rubber-boots; also I tried leather elastic-top riding-boots with 14" Tassie bushwalker canvas gaiters; also tall 12" lace-up ex-army Aus GP boots - all these I have tried formerly - and they failed, some worse than others. This Kamik/Canuk product is far far better than other boots I have tried in the past. Not sure about the elasticated adjustment cords, I may replace them with Aussie Army-type leather or synthetic thick laces of a far shorter length. Overall: a nice strong product at a reasonable price. Durability of nylon 600 Dernier uppers? - Well - we will see how it copes with thorns, aussie snakes and our woody-weeds in future! I will also take it on my shooting trips, usually they are on wet misty mornings with wet grass up to a metre tall or in the swamps. Importantly, the closeable gaiter-top on this boot stops grass-seeds, water and other debris entering the boot and causing;- cold, sock problems and foot irritation/blisters etc. My wife likes that gaiter-top too - on washing day.... |

| Living in Elk, WA on the northern Washington-Idaho border it's important to have a boot to keep out the cold and snow. Our snowfall for the winter of 2008-2009 was 96 inches. From the quality of these boots I do believe my winter problems (cold and wet feet) have been solved. Tromping over 6 acres feeding horses, cows and goats is not a simple task but, with your product I believe it will be one holy heck of a lot better. Thanks so much for a great product! |

| Boots are about a half size bigger than ordered, but that's perfect since it allows me to wear a pair or two of thick socks w/o feeling cramped for space. The only padding between my foot and the rubber bottom is the 3/8 inch thick felt liner, which doesn't have a lot of give to it. But the boot has enough depth to it that I could easily slip in a padded insole I purchased that works great. |

| I am an avid whitetail deer hunter in the cold midwest. I purchsed these boots to keep my feet warm while sitting in tree stands. Unfortionately we have had an unusually warm fall here, so I dont know about the warmth of them yet, however I can say they are the lightest waterproof hunting boots I have ever worn. |

| Have had these for a couple of weeks now and have put them through their paces,in the woods, doing chores etc. They compare very favorably with another very well known felt lined boot but are lighter,4" higher and $40 less. Don't think you can go wrong with them and I'd buy another pair in a heartbeat. |

KAMIK CAMO PAC BOOTS |

| These boots are warm and best used for short hikes to a stand or blind. There is no foot support and therefore they are not comfortable for long hikes, particularly in hilly and rocky terrain. I suggest inserting a felt insole for additional insulation and foot support in addition to the full boot liner. |

Nice boots not as warm as they claim |

| I purchased these boots for late season stand hunting in cold climate. These boots are very lightweight and comfortable. I was a bit dissapointed in their claim of -40F comfort zone. Overall nice boots for short walk to stand and a not too long sit in extreme cold climates. Jan hunt in Ohio. |

Great Boots |

| These boots worked well out all day in the mid 20's. My feet were actually hot at times so should work great in colder temps. The only drawback is the bungie laces. They don't leave the boots snug at the ankles. I replaced with regular laces and they work well. |

I bought these for cold weather hunting |

| These are intended to be my cold weather hunting boots, I have not had the opportunity to try these under those conditions as yet. But I am impressed with the design and feel on the boot, cant wait to go after the cold weather deer with them. |

Good fit, I would buy these boots again. |

| The built in gaiters are excellent and allow room to tuck in your hunting pants. The design keeps out snow and wind and makes for a great boot for sitting on your tree stand in cold weather. They are lighter and more versatile than my Sorel boots. |
