Love my ventlites

Another great innovative product from Sitka. Warm enough for the winter, breathable enough for the rest of the year. They are comfortable, lightweight, and waterproof to the top. Absolutely worth the money.

Really nice boot just waiting for the cold

I wear size 12 and tried the lacrosse 1200g thinsulate and they were too tight with a sock. This boot is much lighter and size 12 needs a sock. The top part felt loose until I tucked pants into boot then fit is perfect. Overall foot comfort is great. Boot is quite tall I am 6ft and almost to the knee. I hunt Canada and will use for cold weather hunts. Will update review.

Outstanding boots

The VentLite GTX boots are exceptional. My normal size is 11. 5 and the size 12 fit perfectly. They are light weight and the quality is excellent. Sitka hit a home run with these boots. I’ve only walked about a mile in these so far but there is no break in period and they are extremely comfortable and light weight for easy walking. I ordered the green and and like the color. Well done Sitka.

Stiff and bulky

Boots were too bulky and stiff for a southern man. we just don't need that much down here. I rated them poorly because of the partial refund after returning un-worn. Not sure how we are supposed to try things if we get dinged for returns

VentLite GTX Boot

They fit so much better than my lacrosse boots and muck boots. And it’s almost half the weight of my lacrosse boots as well and there’s not slop in the boot they are snug and don’t slide around. Haven’t been able to see if they are as warm as other boots though because it’s July but have really liked them so far.

To be honest I haven’t been hunting in the boots yet. I have worn them around the house to kinda get’em broken in. They are very comfortable and easy to get on and off without any struggle. They do run about 1 size small

Incredible boots!

Lightweight, fully waterproof, and surprisingly warm thanks to PrimaLoft insulation. The Vibram sole grips everything, and they’re way more comfortable than bulky rubber boots. Perfect for active hunts in wet or cold conditions. Highly recommended!

Comfortable/light weight/obviously water proof

I’ve only had my boots about 3-4 months but I did wear them during our states spring gobbler season. The boots are extremely light weight and very comfortable. No problems walking in these up and down the hills that I hunt all day. They are just a bit too warm for this time of the year. Can’t wait to wear them during our archery season this fall.

Good boots, but needs a gusset for the very wide upper calf area!

These boots are comfortable they wear almost like a regular hunting boots and are obviously quite waterproof. Your feet sweat a little bit less in them, especially if it’s dry outside. The main problem is the very wide upper that flops around, slapping your calves as you walk and makes a lot of noise. If you have huge calves, that probably won’t be a problem, but for most a gusset of some sort to cinch the top would have solved the issue and make them more comfortable. One way to mitigate this I found is to roll up your pants legs and use them to fill the space between your calves and the boot, or attach a small washcloth to the pull strap and stuff it between the upper and your calf, but that is obviously cumbersome.

Best rubber boot on the market

I have used several kinds of rubber boots, I bought these for a trip to manitoba, and they kept my feet warm, dry, and are crazy light weight. They allow your feet to breathe but also keep them dry. My only complaint, is the shin portion seems a little bulky compared to others.

One of the smartest gear investments I’ve made

These might be one of the smartest hunting gear investments I’ve made. Worn through damp grass, muddy creek beds, and both cool and warm temps—they delivered comfort like I was wearing house shoes. Easy on/off, lightweight, and totally waterproof. I went up half a size and the fit was perfect. Yes, they’re pricey—but absolutely worth it. Buy once, cry once—these boots won’t let you down.

My old boots wore out and needed a new pair. Have been using Sitka Gear for a long time. Their products have been great. Glad they decided to make boots. Most of the other brands don’t last long and wear out quickly

Great boots

Got the boots and bigger, taller and thicker than expected. Was panicked at first because my foot wouldn’t go in! After putting on a thin pair of socks no issues. Did some long hikes 15-20miles, crazy comfortable. Materials seem very durable. Much too warm for spring sheds and turkey but can’t wait for fall!

Not a good fit but light

Need a half size. 9 was so tight on the front I needed help getting it off. Went with a 10. Good fit on the front but the rest was sloppy and to much play. Would be good with 2 pair of socks and little walking but definitely not good for Blackhills hiking terrain. Feet were sweaty but no water got inside my boot. Very light compared to rubber boots. Think I'm going to try other more hiking style for my run n gun kind of hunting. Management even stated 3 other people returned due to fit.

I bought a size up. Just in case the fit was tight. It’s a good thing I did. The fit is perfect. I can’t tell you about the performance of the boot. For $400 I’m only going to wear these boots while I’m deer hunting.

I bought these for my husband for hunting and canoe camping. The boots work well for both activities. The added height of the boot and the light weight make these so much better than the “typical” boots he had been using for years.
