Ascent GORE-TEX® Reviews

I really wanted to like

I really wanted to like these shoes, but I couldn't get them on my feet. The tongue is not gusseted, instead sewn directly to the uppers, so there is not enough room to slide your foot in even with the shoe completely unlaced. I measured the soles against my other size 13 shoes and going to a 14, if available, would have been too large and probably wouldn't have solved the problem. Sitka was great about the return and refund.

The shoes fit well and are comfortable. Time will tell how durable they are.

Great Shoe

It's lightweight but still feels very well made and will last a good while. I've only worn it on a few hunts but both required me to walk through small amounts of water. The sides completely kept everything out but the top did let a very small amount of water in. Can't expect a sneaker style shoe to be 100% water proof though. After these are broken in I can see them being a go to for me for early season. I've been waiting for something like this.

Nice shoes

These are in my opinion similar to trail running shoes. They are lightweight and waterproof. The size is accurate. The lugs are not as deep as I was expecting. The break in quickly and are comfortable.

Well built shoes that are

I love these shoes. They are very comfortable and the grip is insane. I will be looking at their hunting boots next. Highly recommend!!

Great shoes! Need to give

Great shoes! Need to give a little time to break in. Very sturdy shoe!

Just awful they are the

Just awful they are the most painful shoe I’ve ever worn. I spent a week out west hiking with them last week it’s been one week since I’ve worn them and I still have nerve pain in my left foot that runs from my ankle to my 3rd and 4th toe. They are so tight on the middle laces no matter how much you loosen them. Huge oversight not offering wide option.

True fit and comfortable either

True fit and comfortable either running or wearing around the place. Would buy again

Good Shoe

This shoe is difficult to get into as it is very stiff particularly around the heel. Once on, it is comfortable and I am hoping some of the stiffness comes out as I wear it more.

ASENT Gore Tex

Shoe was true to size. No break in requied out of the box right to the dirt and mud. Feet stayed try, traction and stability were great!!

Surprised how well I like these.

They fit great!! I will order another pair.

Once I got them broke

Once I got them broke in after a day on the golf course they’ve turned into my favorite everyday shoe.

.

Very surprised on how waterproof they are, and no break in time needed!

Very hard on my feet

Might just be the shape of my foot, but the right shoe kills the ball of my foot

Ascent Gore Tex review.

Good quality built shoe that is built to withstand tough enviroments. These have quickly become my everyday work shoe, and they feel sturdy and comfortable. Im loving every second of them!

Ascent Shoe Review

The only issue I have with these shoes so far is the pinching at the base of my small toe when kneeling down. As the tip of the shoe folds at the toes, the shoe crimps, at the toe causing discomfort.

These are legit!

The Sitka Ascent GORE-TEX shoes are an incredible piece of hunting gear. They’re lightweight and comfortable like a trail runner, but still provide the stability and support I want when navigating rough, uneven terrain. The GORE-TEX keeps my feet dry when the weather turns bad, and the traction is outstanding on slick rocks, mud, and steep terrain. I really like the locked-down fit and cushioned ride, especially on long scouting trips and early-season hunts. They’re light, nimble, and built to handle whatever the terrain throws at you. Definitely one of the best hunting shoes on the market.

Great for any hike and

Great for any hike and super for trails

Shoes were extremely noisy, I

Shoes were extremely noisy, I wanted to like them but I couldn't wear them during hunting seasons as it sounded like I was walking in flip flops, hopefully they quiet down if they get worn in more.

Comfortable shoes and fit well for the first day

The back of the shoe is designed very poorly and the heel collapsed quickly. I make sure to unlace when putting my shoes on and not just slide into them but the heel collapsed and they’re unwearable now. Consider a redesign on the back. Will switch back to my Keens

comfy shoes

they’re super comfy and very nice

Strange fitting & uncomfortable

I ended up purchasing a size larger. I’m usually a 10 but after returning my 10.5’s the 11’s fit. I have a slightly high arch and instep in my right foot and that foot gets painful if I’m not standing. Standing the cushy soles allow room. I would have ordered the 12’s but they were already a little big at eleven. The service during the return was great. These shoes are awesome design just unfortunately uncomfortable. Whoever approved the design for these should be fired.

A Little Rough

Not very comfortable (65 miles on them so far) the advertised roomy foot box seems small. The material inside is quite abrasive, luckily for me I have pretty tough feet. Having used several brands of trail runner/hiking shoes, these are the least comfortable out of the box. The inside of the shoe just seems unfinished. Not very water proof (which is shocking for a Gore product) hiked in wet grass off and on for about 4 hours, my feet got wet. I was also wearing gaiters to prevent wicking. This happened twice. The grip is great, no complaints on the outsole. And the external materials seem pretty durable.

Amazing shoe , couldn’t be happier

Nice shoes but like the

Nice shoes but like the clothing you have to go large. However, in this case they don’t make man’s shoes (wide. ) other than being a little tight I like them.

Nice!

Really durable and just like most waterproof shoes they do fit snug-like, so not going to be your most soft and comfortable shoe. After breaking them in should be fine.

I love them they're very

I love them they're very comfortables and I can recommend them to anyone who hunts in areas where we don't to wear boots

High quality, great support and look. Happy with purchase.

The Ultimate Early Season Shoe

I have been wearing these for my early season hunts here in wisconsin. Rain, wind, swamp crossing, hiking through some of the thickest brush imaginable and they’ve held up great. Super comfortable, lightweight, and breathable. I would recommend these shoes to anybody.

Ascent Gore-Tex

Great quality,super comfortable and true to size

On Par

As per usual with Sitka, these are awesome! I love the fit. There definitely is a "break in" period, but it isn't long. I work 12 hour shifts and was concerned after wearing them for the first couple of days. After the first week though, they are amazing! The waterproofing is incredibly useful for my profession. I love these shoes!!

Heavier than Expected

I bought the Goretex version for the dewy wet mornings which leave regular low cut shoes wet. My only other choice was to wear my bigger, heavier boots. These fit nicely and should fill a niche. But the 13.5 oz. each is noticeable on the foot.

Ascent

Very well made and waterproof. True to size - works great in the dirt. Definitely worth the price.

I wear size 10 shoe

I wear size 10 shoe in everything however this one is soooooo tight and narrow it's crazy. Customer Service told me to size up to 10.5- now that one is longer and just a hair wider. Barely can get my shoe into it. Clearly a design problem here and not admitting it. Please listen to your customers.

Nice looking shoe but the

Nice looking shoe but the shoe fits very tight has pressure on the area across the toes. I’m going to return it. that’s the problem with buying something online.

Great support for active movement

Have not been a runner for years and don't think i will go back to it. But i love hiking and shoes that support that. Very happy and new colors are fun.

So far so good! Hard to find a waterproof hunting "shoe" that doesn't weigh 5lbs. Very comfortable no complaints.

Ascent GORE-TEX

Best shoe I have worn in a long time. Durable, comfortable and 100% waterproof. Will definitely buy more.

They were a little too narrow for my feet and can often become uncomfortable after only wearing for a short while. On the other hand they do look great and have superb support underneath the foot.
