Really enjoy your videos Randy, they are informative, entertaining and relate to the common hunter (men and women). I joined the RMEF last year with my first membership based on the urging of you and Corey Jacobsen. Benefits are well worth the $ and I encourage others to join as well. "Hunting is Conservation". Keep the footage and content rolling Randy, looking forward to it!

To know more of a difficult journey. I really like the meaning behind the name. Always nice to get to know successful and passionate entrepreneurs and what makes them tick and why they started and how. Even though I am not an engineer, I too need to find a niche that I am passionate about and build my own company, etc.. instead of being stuck in the cycle of retail stores here in West Virginia. Put my two college degrees to use. (Business Administration/Sports Management and Graphic Design). Thanks for sharing more of the Kenetrek and Jim W story there Randy. Got to make sure that your wheels have the appropriate tires for the job. Your 10+ year old boots really tell the story of proper boot care and construction.

got my 1st pair last fall, love them !!!!!!

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

Have been a Meindl boot guy for 25 years....will consider Kenetrek if/when my Canada Hunter's wear out.

[@RatdogDRB]

As a potential customer, I'd've bought a pair last summer if I could've found something in a 14 Wide. I hunted in a pair of side zip duty boots. Thankfully, it was dry the entire hunt in Eastern Montana, and I got my first ever Mule Deer buck. M'be the website just didn't list anything in my size, but, I found no love. Make 'em, and we will come.

@KaliDog101 LOL All of my Oxford dress shoes are a 15D, and some days they're a little tight.

[@geraldarmstrong5861]

I have got to get me a pair of these!! The best pair of boots ever had in my 68 years of life cost me $100 for a pair! That's probably why I've had two major surgeries on both feet from wearing crappy footwear!!

[@selrod55]

Great boots, wish I could afford them.

[@SteelheadTed]

You can’t afford not to have good boots. If your feet hurt you can’t hunt, it’s that simple. More hunts end due to hurting feet than just about anything.

[@OneMoreGrave]

This will be my next boot when the cash is available.

[@blackedoutgrendel3775]

How about a recommendation for huge quality wool socks and liner socks? I wear 13eee and 13eeee boots, smart wool and darn tough's largest size wool socks are very very tight on my feet without liner socks.

[@Fresh_Tracks]

I use Kenetrek socks. They are the best I've found and I've tried all the brands one can think of. Depending upon temps, I prefer the Alaska, Montana, or Canada. My feet are well fitted to my boots, so I don't use a liner.

[@erxkeel]

If money wasnt part of the equation, these would be in my cart.

[@hazy876]

Great boots but the tread wear happens quickly. No more k’s on the bottom of my boots that are 2 years old

[@shootingatshadow]

When you introduce Jim you misspelled kenetrek as kenerek.
