    Yep, use them when in the snow and ice and love them. No idea what they are like on rock. First impression was they would eep falling off but no issues there, have heard the cheaper ones the links underneath pull apart when falling on gravel, had a look at kine and they aren't welded but don't seem to be separating.

    Looking at the photo a second time mine are a bit different, they have spikes on the bottom like crampons, Kahtoola microspikes

    Well I don`t go hunting to far in the bush but I made the mistake of buying ,"Made in china" boots, need I say more. Called " Evolve" , Hydrafuse, just so you know what not to get. Only been on three hunts and the sole heels starting squeaking, the dam things are hollow, so pumped in some silicon rubber and now they are falling off!, have to see if I Can find some good glue.

    i rock lowa ranger III which I have broken a hook off hummmmmmph.
    Because I'm pretty good at standing on sticks and shit I've been thinking about getting some hardcore ankle braces and wearing some wetsuit booties under them until it's warm enough to just bare foot it under them... something like the link below. Anybody tried that way of rolling?

    Nebraska pros for pack work. And bullers for sneaky bush hunting.

    My old man would wear sock in the summer, while bush stalking.

    His reasoning was the same .... Quieter.
