Kenetrek KE-427-GNI-9W Mountain Guide NI Brown 9W Mountain BootsHunting in the Chugach range outside of Anchorage means the most unforgivable terrain imaginable. And guiding a half dozen sheep hunts back to back requires intense planning and truly dependable gear. Knowing that failure is not an option, guides swear by these boots when they need to get up a scree field or put on the crampons and traverse a glacier to reach a pocket of rams holed up in a hidden basin. By using these proven, field-tested Mountain Extreme uppers, along with Kenetrek's very aggressive, deep tread K-73 outsoles, you'll step into a boot that surrounds you in comfort with increased durability, proven traction, and like all Kenetrek's boots, they'll never fail no matter where your hunt takes you.
