Men's Kenetrek Hardscrabbler Hiker Boots

{"reviews":[{"id":7415109,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Christmas came early!","text":"Kenetrek pair number four for me. I have been wearing the regular hardscrabble hikers for four years and they are still solid. No leaks or other structural issues. I only got the steel toe version because my new job requires them. Can never be bummed about a new pair of Kenetreks. I will never wear a different brand boot. I have a completely fused right ankle and my 5 year old mountain extremes got me back out in the mountains hiking and hunting. After a ton of abuse, they still feel like the day I got them. Can’t say enough good things about Kenetrek boots.","textLength":564,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"DUSTIN L.","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-10-28T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Kenetrek Boots","siteUrl":"https://www.kenetrek.com","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/2527_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"877706-KE-420-HK","title":"Men's Kenetrek Hardscrabbler Hiker Boots","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/877706-KE-420-HK","category":"boots","reviewCount":264,"ratingCount":264,"averageRating":4.9,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":2,"3":4,"4":16,"5":242},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7406341,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Great boots!!","text":"So far I love these boots. Took a little bit to break in but once they did quickly became a very comfortable boot something that I've come to expect from Kenetrek. The foot is well supported, the leather is holding up nice especially afterwood walking through downed spruce all day with alot of sharp sticks poking at your feet. The water resistants is excellent, only had one day where my feet got wet and that was in pouring rain for 4 hours without rain pants, I use Kenetreks own leather conditioner.","textLength":504,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":true,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"William L.","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-10-26T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Kenetrek Boots","siteUrl":"https://www.kenetrek.com","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/2527_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"877706-KE-420-HK","title":"Men's Kenetrek Hardscrabbler Hiker Boots","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/877706-KE-420-HK","category":"boots","reviewCount":264,"ratingCount":264,"averageRating":4.9,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":2,"3":4,"4":16,"5":242},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7406342,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Best boot.","text":"Second pair.
