For a light weight boot the Stalker offers plenty of ankle support and foot bed protection. It was extremely comfortable to wear straight out of the box and due to the boots light weight they won’t drag you down on long days in the field. The boot is soft enough to feel where you are placing your foot and gives the ability to stalk silently even through challenging bush with sticks and leaf litter covering the terrain. Even with the generous feel the boot offers the Vibram Sole used on the boot has great traction on all surfaces and the ability to handle and terrain wet or dry.
