Comfortable but small

Really love the look, always wore lacrosse but they wore out after 2 years. Wore them twice this season and feet never felt chilled, 40 degree day and windchill of 15 yesterday. They do run tight, I got 11 normally wear 10. 5, they are tight on the sides.

Back 40 Boot

My rating is based on the fit. I called and talked to a rep prior to purchase. I told them I wear a 10. 5 and they told me to just get the size 11. I got them and they were very tight in the ankle and top foot area. I wore them for one sit to see if they would stretch, but It was way too uncomfortable. I returned them a week ago and waiting for the size 12 as a replacement. That being said they seemed very well made and light. I am hoping the size 12 will fit better. If not I will not order a 13. That would be way too big for my foot.

Back 40 boot

I could not wear them. Heel lock down was terrible. Every step my heel would slip. I had to return them. Looked good, felt good until I walked in them.

Still Warm Out

I replace rubber boots about every 2-3 years. I was comparing sale prices to other brands, and decided to try these. So far, comfortable, I’ve only worn with light socks.

A little clunky

These boots were a little bigger and bulkier than I thought they would be. Good boots to set decoys in for the morning, but will be switching to other boots for the day while sitting. Holds in the sweat and my feet get cold.

Bar none best boot I’ve ever owned!!!

These boots are not only comfortable but warm. I had the Lacrosse Sitka edition just prior to the back 40. They are not even on the same level. The back 40 boots I could walk in all day and when I’m laying out in a field even using swag blinds in 20 degree weather with one pair of socks my feet are toasty warm. I generally wear a 10. 5. Size 10 with one pair of socks fits just fine. Snug so mud won’t pull your boot off.

Not for me

I purchased these boots because they were on clearance and I figured it’d be a good boot for Whitetail season here on the east coast. The boots are extremely large and cumbersome. They’re also in my opinion heavy for what they are. I could see one wearing this type of boot to do ice fishing. Not for me, returned for refund.

Toasty tootsies

These boots are robust and warm. Good traction on the soles. Very comfortable. Recommend ordering one size up from your regular boot size as the website says.

Great Boot Terrible Color

Optifade Elevated II color is completely different from what you see online. It is much lighter and brighter than how it is portrayed. The boot is extremely comfortable and fits great. However, I am extremely disappointed with the color and disappointed that you cannot exchange it for a different color pattern.

Durable and comfortable

I have used them for an entire year now and I will say that I'm impressed. I was originally going to get lacrosse but these were out and at basically the same price. I've used them ice fishing, turkey hunting in 60 degree weather, and a lot of deer hunting in Minnesota and they have worked well. Keep my feet warm, are super comfortable, and so far pretty durable. I would recommend if you are looking into them

What a Boot!!

These things are wonderful! Ive had a pair of different brand named boots ive tolerated for a few years and this year chose to upgrade and give SITKA's new footwear line up a try. These boots are far superior to my other name brand boots hands down. They are truly comfortable and great to walk in the field and during set up. They are warm enough, one morning it was 15F and my toes got a little chilly, but that's how great hunts start. . . I am impressed that I can point my toe in these boots. I would recommend to anyone looking to upgrade there rubber boots.

Great boot

These a super comfy boots. I’ve walked miles in them with no problems. I got a size ten, they’re just slightly big enough to either layer up socks or wear a really heavy sock. Wouldn’t go with a larger size.

Back 40 boot

Great boot, durable, warm, water proof, comfortable. They are obviously heavier and not as sleek as the Ventlite, but for colder weather this is a great boot. Will need to see how it holds up over an entire season.

Great boot

Boots are very comfortable. They appear to be warm, but it is early in the season. So far I love the fit and comfort. I will say, if you are in between sizes go up to the larger as the boot is a touch tight on the top of the foot and that may be an issue for some.
