Hoss boots

[hammer4reel]

HOSS boots ,Anyone ever tried them ?

insulated boots for 4E WIDE are tough to come by above 400 grams of thinsulate .

found these on the XL FEET site .

1000 grams was available from HOSS boots .

got them today , seem to be pretty well made , and actually are way lighter than lots of my other boots .

Never heard of them before , will see how they work

I've been in Redwings for the last 30 years but notice the quality is not the same. Thanks for sharing

Their site said boots are USA made with leather from other countries .

But the tongue on the boots says made in China .

They appear to be well built , have a waterproof liner , and 1000 grams of thinsulate ,

‘so should be fine for colder weather saddle hunting

for work boots found Carolina boots to be the most comfortable by far , and they made a composite boot that was PS rated for in a switch yard

Mucks arctic pro and muck Arctic ice .

while they are only D width the side walls are soft enough to spread out .

can only wear one sock in them .

and only get a season or two out of them because the soles become undone .

 
finding sneakers is as bad , but a few makers sell them in 4E on the XL feet site
