The shoes are of poor quality. The upper is made of solid full-grain leather and despite the weight, they were very comfortable to use. I only used them in winter during a few 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 near the upper cracked, and the heel with the back of the sole started to detach and "flap." I had to walk a few kilometers in such a shoe, which was leaking. I couldn't fix it 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, although I've had several pairs of shoes already. There have been scuffs, holes, but never the entire sole coming off! I definitely do not recommend.

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.
Advanta is a breathable and waterproof lining used in Mil-Tec tactical footwear. It protects the inside of the boot from water penetration from the outside while allowing moisture and water vapor to escape. This helps maintain a dry microclimate inside the footwear during intensive use. It increases wearing comfort in changing terrain and weather conditions.

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

I expected higher quality. The shoes are quite heavy and it is difficult to lace them up so that your foot doesn't slide forward when going downhill. The sole looks stiff only in the photos—in reality, you can easily feel sharp stones under it on mountain trails. Additionally, they are extremely slippery on compacted snow, 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.
