Sloppy fit

Boots are extremely floppy fit and noisy. Around the foot diameter they’re ok, but everywhere else it’s ridiculous. Cmon Sitka, incorporate some sort of cinch strap at the least, especially when these boots cost twice as much as other high quality boots.

Foul Chemical Odor - Not Good for Hunting Deer

I just bought the VentLite GTX Boots and started wearing them during the whitetail deer season September 2026. After 10-20 wears, the boots developed a strong foul chemical odor. I do not have an issue with smelly feet. In fact, I’ve gone back to wearing my old boots because I can’t get rid of the smell in the VentLite GTX Boots. I keep them clean, ensure they dry completely, and used charcoal inserts. I CANNOT get rid of the strong chemical smell. The boots are just a $300+ paperweight right now. I wish I had read the reviews beforehand about this issue because there are other complaints about this same issue. I put in a warranty claim and I am hoping Sitka makes it right.

Awesome Boots for my area

I ordered these in Optifade Elevated, as I have previous gear in that pattern and for my area, it's the ticket for white tail. Very comfortable, room for insulating socks and tucking pants in,. I have previously had "muck boots" in LA Cross, Thorogood, and Muck Brand, and can say these are as comfortable as my Thorogoods. They can be worn all day with no discomfort.

My feet stayed dry on

My feet stayed dry on vigorous 9 hour climb in wet rainy conditions in SE Alaska. Seemed to be a little large wearing medium socks as my heels started to slip in the boots nearly causing blisters.

Best Mud Boot I've Owned

Simply the best all season mud boot I have owned, worked great this May in Northern Alberta on my Bear hunt, kept warm in the cold and wet mornings/late evenings, and the hot mid days sits I felt like I was wearing tennis shoes.

Great Gortex boots

I wore these all last Illinois archery season from hot October first until freezing in January. They were never too hot or cold. I love walking through deep snow and not getting snow in my boots. They are also great for plowing snow, but shoveling snow, and chores.

Time will tell

So far so good. Ive killed turkeys at 27° and 91° wearing them. Didnt sweat ir get cold. I am a bit apprehensive about using them in deer stand. Being a taller boor im worried the top will hit the back of my thigh in a seated position and be irritating but I haven't done that yet. I did have to return for a smaller size. Im normally 11. 5 but with hunting boots and big socks I get a 12. But they were way too big. The 11s fit well with just enough room for thick socks if needed

Best boot ever

Hands down best hunting boot I have ever used. Have used them bow hunting in Kansas in 15 degree weather and turkey hunting south Texas in the heat. Great feel and grip in muddy conditions. I might buy another pair just to have a back up, they are that good.

Lightest Waterproof boot I've ever owned

Lightweight, form fitting, breathable and waterproof. Perfect boots for the stand or on foot. They breath but still keep me warm on those late season sits. The one time I went too deep and flooded one boot, it was almost completely dry by the time I wrapped up my hike. Worth the investment.
