Fantastic boot

I’ve worn this boot through some thick mud and very rough prairie with sagebrush, marshes and rocks. It cares nothing for those conditions; I might as well be walking in a parking lot. The boots give me a great deal of confidence; no matter where I am, the boots are at home and are not my limiting factor.

Just got the boots and they fit great. Light wieght, comfortable and good support. Time will tell how good they are in durability. I haven't found a boot that last more than a year without blowing out somewhere. I wear them almost every day in late winter, spring and summer working bird dogs.

Perfect Boot

Been using these boots for bears walking across uneven terrain and the boots have a strong true to size fit staying firm around my heel with no sleeping and has performed well walking in low water and muddy conditions.

Good boot for the money

I'm normally not a rubber boot guy, but these boots are awesome. . . . comfortable and insulated well for cold to mild hunts. . . I normally wear a 10-1/2 shoe/boot. An 11 is a little too loose for me so I opted for a 10. A little snug, but fits great and are like your favorite pair of shoes.

Great boot just run small/ tight

Could be a super comfortable boot. I normally wear 11 in the wader boots so I order same size in these. They fit great length wise but super tight over the top of the foot. After a few miles they loosened up but not completely comfortable

Back40 boot

So they are the most comfortable boots I’ve ever had right out of the box but the only downside of them is the durability from my personal experience. So I’ve had them for one year now and I have not been easy on them and they have already cracked in multiple places and a few slices. So that takes the waterproofing part out of them.

Comfortable Boots

Very comfortable boot. I typically wear a size 10. 5 in most hunting boots, but because I have a narrow foot, I purchased a size 10 and they fit perfectly with regular socks. For colder weather and heavier socks, I would likely need a size 11. Overall, these have become my new favorite hunting boots. They're comfortable right out of the box, and I’m seriously considering buying a second pair specifically for cold-weather hunting.

Back40 Boot

I recently received my Back40 Boot and the timing was impeccable. Living in south Louisiana and experiencing recent heavy rains and thunderstorms these boots provide the protection and comfort as advertised. I borrowed my son in law’s pair during this past hunting season and they were too big for me. I ordered myself a pair in my sneaker size and they fit perfectly. Thanks Sitka!

Great boot, on the heavier end when it comes to rubber boots however they are really durable waterproof and warm during colder days. Alternatively if you’re looking for a really warm lightweight boot i would go with the Ventlite warmer, lighter-weight, and more breathable.
