Breakdown The Kenetrek Grizzly Pac boot is a mid to late-season hunter's dream come true. It’s a perfect choice for cold wet horseback hunts, splitting wood, camp chores, or even everyday winter wear. This is an all-day workhorse. They fit like an all-leather boot but can take all the punishment you can dish out while still wrapping your feet in total warmth. The removable 6 mm 400 g Thinsulate Ultra Insulation liner with 3 mm of wool felt keeps your feet warm and insulate even when damp. You can also easily remove them to dry every night. The rubber lower portion offers extreme weather protection and the upper 6 oz oil-tanned leather molds to fit your foot and leg for ultimate comfort and support. The Grizzly features the famous K-Talon™ outsole with an open tread pattern, deep relief, and specialized "K" lugs for multidimensional traction. A steel shank and double thick midsoles make it durable and dependable. Finally, the snug-fit lacing system with stud hooks and Power D-Ring lace anchors provides the ultimate ankle support. The Grizzly Pac boot should be the mid to late-season elk and deer hunters' first choice.

GOHUNT Stiffness Scale
Kenetrek 10" Grizzly - Flex 2.5
Flex 1
Built for light and fast trekking. Think of your favorite trail running shoes, but capable of rocky demanding terrain.
Flex 2
Flexible enough that they offer out of the box comfort but can handle miles of rocky terrain. Perfectly suited for mild to moderate mule deer, elk, and antelope country.
Flex 3
Ideally suited for mountain hunts with moderate to steep technical terrain where more rigidity is required. Some break-in time required but will likely become your favorite do everything hunting boots.
Flex 4
Best suited for hunts at or above timberline where the terrain gets steep. Flexible enough that it can handle miles of comfortable climbing but stiff enough to offer support and rigidity with a heavy pack.
Flex 5
The stiffest boot options, best for alpine hunting and mountaineering. Sheep hunting, mountain goat, and the toughest of elk and deer terrain.
HOW TO ACCURATELY MEASURE YOUR FEET TO FIND THE CORRECT BOOT SIZE
Start by collecting a few things from around your house, including a yardstick or ruler, a soft tailor’s tape or paper tape, a piece of cardboard or printer paper, and a pen.
Draw a 90° angle on the cardboard or paper using the yardstick or ruler. The lines should be long enough so that your longest toe touches the horizontal line and the widest point of your foot touches the vertical line.
Ensure that you’re wearing your hunting socks while taking these measurements. Stand on the paper or cardboard with your feet shoulder-width apart and place your full weight on both feet.
Have a second person mark where your heel and the widest part of your foot lands on the cardboard or paper. Ensure that you’re keeping the pen vertical when making your marks. Leaning the pen inward or outward against your foot will skew your measurements.
Place the edge of the tailor’s tape on the straight line and measure the widest and longest point of each foot down to 1/10th of a centimeter.
Add both length measurements together and divide them by two. This is your length measurement.
Add both width measurements together and divide them by two. This is your width measurement.
Record your measurements and refer to the GOHUNT Sizing Guide and Staff Reviews to find the right boot size for your foot profile.
GENERAL TIPS TO ENSURE YOUR NEW BOOTS FIT PROPERLY
Measure your feet with the socks you intend to wear in the field.
Measure your feet later in the day. Your feet tend to swell slightly as the day progresses.
The arch and heel of your foot should feel snug but not tight. Your heel should feel secure in the heel pocket. If your heel lifts up when you step, make sure the lacing is not too loose.
Your toes should not touch the front of the boot. You want just enough room to wiggle your toes. When you kick the toe into the floor, you should know where the front of the boot is without your toes hitting.
If you're unable to cinch the boot tight enough to prevent heel slip or it allows your toes to touch the end of the boot, you will have a hard time with a heavy pack on steep downhill descents and you’ll want to size up.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY BOOTS?
Proper boot care can significantly extend the lifespan of your boots. Leather boots, in particular, need to be cared for after heavy use. If your boots are wet and covered in dirt, we recommend cleaning them. If you’re not going to clean your boots, you should still allow your boots to air dry after each use.
Remove your insoles and laces after each use. This will open up your boots and allow them to air out. Even if your boots don’t get wet, they will naturally absorb moisture from your feet, especially on multi-day trips. Insoles and laces can be hand-washed in cold water and set out to air dry.
Using a boot brush and warm water, remove the dirt from your boots. The warm water will open up the pores of the boot and allow you to thoroughly clean them.
For leather boots, you’ll want to recondition the leather after cleaning them with warm water in order for them to remain water-repellant. Applying a waterproofing agent to the damp leather will reclose the pores that were opened up during cleaning. Once you’ve reconditioned your boots, water should bead up when gently poured over the leather.
Allow your boots to air dry. Do not use a heat source to dry your boots. The heat could cause the leather to shrink or become brittle, increasing the chances of irreparable rips or creases.
Store your boots in a cool and dry place to prevent mildew. We recommend packing a newspaper in the toe box of wet boots to help absorb the moisture and maintain the boots’ shape during the drying process.
Take your boots to a knowledgeable cobbler for repairs.
WHAT SHOULD I USE TO TREAT MY NEW BOOTS?
For a general-purpose waterproofing product, the GOHUNT staff has found that Granger or Nikwax Waterproofing performs the best.
Re-apply this product as necessary or after every use in severe conditions.
Please refrain from using beeswax, animal fats, or petroleum-based products on your boots, as these products will void some manufacturer warranties.
*Please note that these products may darken the color of any leather.
WHAT IF MY BOOTS ARE GORE-TEX®?
We recommend treating the leather on your Gore-Tex® boots the same as you would on any other leather boot.
The Gore-Tex® lining creates a waterproof/breathable membrane on the inside of the boot, but leather uppers still need to be cared for.
The durable waterproofness of the Gore-Tex® membrane is not affected by leather conditioners, silicone, oil, or shoe polish.
"The GoHunt recommendation was to order a size down. I normally wear a 11. 5 so I ordered the 11. The length was fine but they were really tight around the ball of my foot. Even with the laces out and thin socks I feel like they were too snug. I exchanged them for 12s and am hoping that the 12s will not be too long and floppy. I feel like Kennetrek boots are for people with narrow feet. I do not have abnormally wide feet."

Well made-cautious on sizing
"As usual, Gohunt shipped quickly and the Black Friday pricing was very reasonable. I read as many reviews as I could regarding this boot and ordered accordingly. My usual sneaker size is either 10 or 10.5 depending on manufacturer. Reviews claimed true to size, so I ordered a size 10. Arrival was quick and I immediately opened the box and tried the right boot on with regular socks on. Couldn’t get my foot into the boot no matter the effort or angle!! Imagine wearing the merino wool mid weight socks!!! I made several attempts at trying to get my foot into the boots but no go. I placed them back in the box and began my return claim online. Gohunt was extremely easy to find and initiate the return claim. I printed the return label and put them in the mail two days later. Unfortunately, the pricing of the Grizzly PAC boots was so good that a size 11 or 11.5 was not in stock so I couldn’t swap for them. No fault of Gohunt… demand was high and inventory sold out. Perhaps I may try to purchase these boots again but before doing so, I’ll find a store locally that might carry the Kenetrek Grizzly PACs and try on larger sizes helping me determine which one to order depending on sale price! I’d be cautious with regards to reviews on sizing and ordering based on what is said. IMHO… you need to try on boots like that before buying!!"

Very comfortable boot right out
"Very comfortable boot right out the box, nice and warm in cold weather conditions. Great quality boots...definitely will be telling my hunting buddies about them."
— Jon M. (5/5)
Best Pacs EVER
"I love these pacs and they are the best I have ever used - incredibly high quality. They are pretty roomy so you may need to size down 1/2 size - even if you own other Kenetrek boots. Mine still feel big but I wouldn’t want the liner any smaller so I am hoping that as the thick leather upper breaks in, I will have less foot movement. The traction is the best on the market for sure."
— John G. (5/5)
