Excellent boot. Super comfortable warm, easy to move in. My only suggestions would be loops at the top to be able to hold onto when putting on, and the ankle part is a tad tight, which is great for warmth, but makes it a little hard to add pant layers under.

Great fitting boot. No slop. Form fitting. Able to be worn from the marsh to the hills. And the coldest to the warmest weather.

I have not had a chance to use these boots yet but they look incredible. Quality is on par with what you expect from Sitka but what is most amazing is their light weight. They are going to feel like waking on clouds. My current boots are so heavy they always cut my hunt shorter than I want. I'll be able to hunt all day in these boots.

Good boots a little narrow

Overall the boots are comfortable, warm, and well made. As you would expect from Sitka. They are a little narrow on width but there are not real wide options for this line, but it’s manageable with thinner socks.

Great Knee Boots

If you need knee boots and are accustomed to other knee boots, you’ll love these. They do not fit like or have the ankle support of lace up hiking boots, because they are knee high rubber boots and not lace up hiking boots. Great Job Sitka on another great product.

Nice boots would recommend

I received boots they look well made but we're little tight. Went for a walk maybe half a mile boots very light hopefully they will loosen up a bit . Will have to wait for hunting season and see if they keep my feet warm in the cold and how my feet will feel after a whole day of hunting.

True to fit boot, size

True to fit boot, size is comparable to my Ariat work boots. My shoe size is 10 1/2, but usually purchase size 9 in boots. Very warm, I purchased them for when it gets cold during late deer season in Western New York. I wore them in the woods well over 20 times in temperatures at or below 20 degrees and my feet stayed warm during anywhere from 2 and upwards of 5-6 hour long sits. The only thing is, they are a little bit heavier, so I wouldn't recommend using them for long walking hunts. They are best for getting to where you plan on sitting for the hunt and staying put. I did notice some foot fatigue even from just sitting in a stand, as that could be from the breaking in period, it might not be bad to have a wide option for people who need it.

Great pair of boots that’s worth the cost vs the regular pairs you’ll find in big box stores. Have worn these out bow hunting and walked about 5 miles with total comfort. Have worn them during waterfowl season and trekked through the slop and mud and stayed on my foot when I sank in at times.

Sitka Back 40 Boot Review:

I’ve been really impressed with Sitka’s Back 40 boots so far. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and feel solid whether I’m working or out in the field. The traction is great, and they’ve held up well in different conditions without feeling bulky. I normally wear a size 10. 5, but I went with a size 10 in these, and the fit is spot on. They run just a little big, so sizing down worked perfectly for me.

Great fitting boots - enjoyed

Great fitting boots - enjoyed my Timber ones so much I bought a pair in Earth for non hunting days. I’ve gone through my fair share of rubber and neoprene boots. These have the best heel lock without causing pain. I have a narrow heel and a narrow/medium ball of foot. I do feel that the opening of the shaft is a touch narrow but not so that I can’t get 2-3 layers still tucked in around my calves.

Im unsure

The Boots Are a litte big in the acual size not ft size but use them all season from lock ons and sadldles no sliping issues and was very comfy on the feet and took 2x as long for feet to get cold! (very impressed with the warmth). Only issue i had was walking in to my stand on the first hunt a stick ripped the boots and made them no longer waterproof so cant rate the waterproofness
