The shoes are of poor quality. The upper is made of solid full-grain leather and despite their weight, they were very comfortable to use. I only used them in winter, during several trips to the Beskids in the snow. I was very satisfied with them. However, after two winter seasons, the sole of one shoe suddenly came off – it consists of several layers. At one point, in the snow, part of the sole by the upper cracked, and the heel with the back of the sole started to detach and 'flapped'. I had to walk a few kilometres in that shoe, which was leaking. It couldn't be fixed with cable ties. In total, I walked no more than 60-70 km in them since they were new. This has never happened to me before, even though I've already had several pairs of shoes. Sometimes there were abrasions, holes, but never the entire sole coming off! I definitely do not recommend them.

Thinsulate is a high-tech insulating material from 3M with a special construction based on synthetic microfibers that provide high thermal insulation at a low weight. Its lightweight, elasticity, and ability to retain heat even in humid conditions make it widely used in clothing and footwear. Thinsulate fibers are durable and abrasion-resistant, resulting in long-lasting durability.
Poliyou is an anatomically molded insole, made of polyurethane foam characterized by high thermal insulation parameters. The open-cell design with high elasticity absorbs vibrations and shocks and provides adequate breathability. The active carbon content has an antibacterial effect, leveling the formation of unpleasant odors and preventing the growth of bacteria and fungi.

I bought the boots in summer 2025. At first, they made a good impression. However, they are clearly not suitable for tough hunting use. The eyelets are made from inferior material. Two of them broke during normal lacing.

I expected higher quality. The shoes are quite heavy and it’s difficult to lace them so that your foot doesn’t move forward when going downhill. The sole only looks stiff in the photos – in reality, you can easily feel sharp stones under it when walking on mountain trails. Additionally, on hard-packed snow they are exceptionally slippery, more so than any other shoes I’ve worn. After two hours of walking in crampons, my feet were tired. I do not recommend this product.
