Testing in in temperatures from the low 30 F. to well into the beginning 90\u2019s F. and my feet felt cooler than I originally expected. The lightweight build made them great for everyday wear and even quite comfortable when running into town for supplies. One of the best things about these boots is the build in \u201cScent Ban\u201d that controls orders.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Scent-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14872\" src=\"https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Scent-1024x994.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Scent-1024x994.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Scent-300x291.jpg 300w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Scent-768x746.jpg 768w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Scent-1536x1491.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Scent-2048x1989.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Scent-386x375.jpg 386w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Scent-600x583.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The sole of the boots had great traction that made scaling muddy hills not a slipping folly.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The aggressive traction that extends up the sides of the boot and toe allows more \u201cdigging in\u201d ability when navigating up and down steep hills or manure fields.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6454-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14869\" src=\"https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6454-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6454-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6454-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6454-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6454-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6454-263x350.jpeg 263w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6454-281x375.jpeg 281w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6454-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6454-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With streams on the property, these waterproof boots did great. \u00a0However, being overly cautious, I chose to spray a waterproof sealant as an extra layer of protection and they performed perfectly.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6453-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14868\" src=\"https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6453-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6453-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6453-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6453-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6453-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6453-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6453-500x375.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/epictactical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6453-600x450.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I wish we could find a negative, however, they are absolutely well built and super comfortable.
