Ascent GORE-TEX® Reviews

Great Shoe!

This shoe provides awesome support and doesn't pinch at the toes. I love the gore-tex application that keeps your feet dry while hiking or training in the early morning dew.

Great Shoe!

Worn this shoe a few times now and they work great. Wore them for a day in South Dakota pheasant hunting and they worked great! Kept my feet dry in the morning dew and comfortable to walk miles in all day hunting. Great traction on the bottoms and overall great shoe!

Too small

Well built shoe and I loved that it had Gore-Tex but I it was too tight across the top of my foot. The length and width was fine but once on my feet, there was no way I could wear - I was very disappointed that I couldn’t wear them

Great Shoe

HI, I own a retriever training kennel and put in about 12-15 miles a day. I needed something comfortable and waterproof. So far so good. We will check back in a few months to see how they hold up.

Awesome shoe

May be one of the most cushioned and comfortable shoes I own. Seem to run a tad big and wide on the toe box but not to much

WILDLY COMFORTABLE

wildly comfortable, very light - I have more metal in one ankle than most people's cars are made of; and these make a huge difference.

Sturdy and very durable. Comfortable

Great shoes! I love them!

Great shoes! I love them!

Will need an update/revision

Overall seems pretty good quality, see how they hold up. Definitely need to redo the tongue, it’s impossible to get the shoe on, I’m already tearing that area a bit, put a gusset in there so shoe is easier to put on. Makes a weird flop sound while walking at bend in front, hope it goes away with break in.

Good shoes

Really wish they would make these in a 6” or so for the ankle support, but all round comfortable and sturdy.

Love them

Great all around shoe. Great traction and my feet stay dry when I walk through wet grass scouting or when it’s raining. Wish they came in a wide. Just a little narrow for my foot so I wear a thinner sock. Very happy with them overall.

Pretty good shoe!

These are pretty fantastic from how much ive used them, i mean they are pretty comfortable but could be a little more comfortable, but i mean these things are awesome, feet never get wet through dew or puddles, pretty good shoes

Great for work

I work at a water treatment plant and I would get my original shoes wet and dirty. These shoes are easy to keep clean and have been perfect for my toe since I had a big right toe fusion a year ago. I originally planned them for hunting but now I will use them for both hunting and work until I order another pair.

I like it shoes.

It's the best pair of shoes I purchased in a very long time. I keep a variety but since I bought these I haven't worn another pair.

GORETEX Ascent

Shoe was durable and footbed was sturdy. Would recommend trying on in store prior to purchase.

Awesome boot

Been very impressed with these, I have a pile of lightweight boots and shoes but this is my new go to.

Shoe has all the features

Shoe has all the features you need for outdoor activities and very well made but definitely runs small. Not enough half sizes in the smaller sizes.

Extremely tight and hot

Worst sitka purchase ever and I own ALOT. The fixed tongue design is terrible. Thought they would loosen up once you have them on, but they don't. Wore them one time dove hunting and ended up taking them off. Was cutting off circulation, caused blisters on ankles and top of foot. And for some reason they are extremely HOT. My feet were on fire. Waste of money and can't return.

Sitka review

Snug at first but after the first hunt they loosened up and formed well to the feet. Light weight, good quality, and comfortable. Great shoe for hiking and during summer and fall. Wouldn’t use for cold weather days.

Shoes are to tight across

Shoes are to tight across the top. I tried 2 different sizes

Review Ascent

Shoe tongue is locked in place with zero give. Painful to put on. Painful to leave on for any period. Shoe size length and width are correct. Shoe toe box flex point bends a sharp V into your toes. Shoe locks all moisture in. Would not purchase again. May not purchase Sitka again.

Great shoes!

Great shoes!

Cut off circulation

Shoes severely digging into arches and cutting off circulation. Gave them to Goodwill.

Not impressed.

“Axis-Fit” is very tight mid-foot and uncomfortable. Rigid fit. I thought I could break them in but no luck. I’d say this “Axis-Fit” is a bad thing. They also stink and don’t seem to breath. I have the Gore Tex pair, and even though I’ve worn socks with them every time they stink more than my running shoes with a lot of mileage on them.

Ascent Gore Tex

Picked up the earth color and love em! They fit great and feel good when running. Could do without the huge goretex being written on the insides of the shoe though. Will try and color match the letters out, but that’s just me. Love the shoe though.

Very durable and water resistant. Fits great

The shoe is awesome just be mindful that it is a Narrow snug shoe if you have a wider foot.

Uncomfortable fit for someone with high arch. Hard to put on with top of foot fit.

Ascent GORE-TEX®

Absolutely amazing shoe. Supportive, comfortable, light weight, and the grip is unmatched. Couldn’t recommend enough.

They are an attractive and

They are an attractive and light weight shoe. I didn’t feel they provided the amount of support my surgically repaired ankles require. Sitka made it easy to return them.

Shoes

Great shoes really comfortable.

Nice

These shoes are nice but i think they are definitely overpriced for what they are. Bit stiff at first, require some break in.

First Impressions - Very Good

I bought these and immediately went on a 5 mile backpacking trip for a one night camp and then hiked 5 miles back. Shoes were great and very comfortably. My one shoe caused a decent blister on my heel but thats to be expected with brand new hiking shoes. They had great grip and held up well with slippery conditions in the rain. I would recommend. Might update my review as I continue to use them. I hope they are able to hold up for hundreds of miles. I had to size .5 down

Can’t Recommend Enough

I commented a couple times on these, last comments. After many many miles in and out of canyons the shoe are now flexible as any shoe so not to worry about being stiff. I will go up a half size on next pair. Toes contact front of shoe on steep descents regardless of lace methods the sharp rocks and ledges in steep canyons of Phoenix mountain preserve you do feel these rocks and sole of feet become tender. I want a shoe with good feel of terrain surface so this is a trade off. My heavy thick soled hunting boots prevent this, but feel fatigue is the trade off there. I take both shoes depending on the country I hunt in the US, determines which pair I place up on a trip. My trip to hunt coyote in Wyoming I will start with the accent goretex and mostly stay with them. No shoe can be all but these cover all but one surface for me. Can’t recommend them enough. Thanks Sitka

Probably a great shoe, liked everything about it. But, if you have wide feet its not gonna work.

Ascent Gortex - great purchase

I have only had the Ascent Gortex for a month and have only worn casually so far but this is a great feeling shoe - super comfortable. I own a pair of a comparable competitor shoe which I really liked but this Sitka Ascent w/Gortex feels even better. I am considering buying a second pair.

Perfect fit. Water proof and very comfortable to wear and work in all day. I normally wear a 10.5 and bought an 11.

Best shoes

I have had a lot of on clouds not knocking them they are great shoes. That being said they really lack on the waterproof side. These are the best waterproof shoes I have ever had. Just got back from a 3 day trip in Florida and it rained every day. I will say this it did take a little while to break in. I wear ankle socks and they rubbed bad for a few days so If you buy them wear taller socks for a few days. I am going to get a standard shoes now for sure

Great so far

Nice shoe, great ankle lock, but kinda hard to get on with sewn tongue. I’d say they run a little big.

Stand Life

Great comfort and fit, definitely the shoe I needed for long sits in the stand.

Ascent Gore Tex

They seem to run a bit small so I’m debating on whether to go up a half size….

Well made, solid support. Excited

Well made, solid support. Excited to get in some weather with these.
