VentLite GTX Boot Reviews

These boots look huge when

These boots look huge when you receive them, like astronauts' would wear. Once they are on, they are great! Great grip in the water on slippery rocks or on steep hillsides moving through brush. They are waterproof all the way up to the top, but one's feet don't sweat. Great for cold weather, looking forward to a warm weather version.

Great boot

These boots fit me very well with a thick pair of socks and are very comfy even after a 3 mile hike. Super lite for that style of boot and the best part is that my feet stayed dry even after the hike. Keep in mind these boots are high in length and will touch your upper leg while sitting witch took some getting use to. Great job sitka

These can handle anything!

They do run a bit

They do run a bit small I had to size up one. Very comfortable.

New GTX boots 🥾

Worn on short hikes: so far, so good 😊! Seems a little snug around the ankle and lower shin area. I’ll know more after wearing them hiking and hunting all day. They are difficult to get on and off with two pairs of socks 🧦. Once on, two pairs of socks seem to fit fine… I wear a men’s size 7 and weigh 165 at 5’5”.

True lightweight comfort !!

I love the way these fit , lightweight comfort in a knee high boot.

Awesome boots, can’t wait to wear them into the turkey woods

Very comfortable!

Quality but…

Purchased these ended up sending them back they’re way to bulky for a pull on style boot. I’d love to see them make a 8inch hiking style boot with the boa system and I would most definitely purchase them.

Absolutely awesome

I wore these boots on a day where the temperature fluctuated 40 degree from the start of the day until I left the woods. In my old rubber boots I would have been wringing out wet socks but not in these gems.

Light weight boots

Used in 12” of snow and feet weren’t cold, they do not roll down like other brands. Can’t wait to see how they do in warmer weather

Great boot.

Great boots

Very light weight. Wear good. Don't know if they are warm yet

Warm and comfortable

Fit is great. Warm and comfortable

Awesome knee boots for cold weather

Received these just before leaving for Alaska last week. They did everything that I was expecting of them. Extremely comfortable. Amazingly warm. And…no swamp feet!

Best boot I own

Before I purchased I read all the Facebook post looking at reviews and mostly the negative comments about how there is no way these boots are worth $399. As usual these comments were mainly coming from people that had never seen, much less worn the boot. I’m here to tell you these boots are worth every bit of what you pay. I wore them for 10 hours one day with wool socks mainly to see if my feet would sweat or not. The morning temp started at 36°F and the day ended at 47°F. When I removed my boots my socks and feet were powder house dry. The boots are light and very comfortable to wear. I personally wear a size 11 in most boots and shoes so that’s the size I ordered here and they fit true to size. Excellent product.

Ventlite GTX Boot Review

Boots are well made but the ankle is too tight making the boot difficult to put on and remove.

Superb Boots

Great fit, stellar construction, can't wait for hunting season with these really light weight and great fitting boots. Will replace the heavy rubber boots I had before!

Worth the price tag

These boots are awesome. I walked 8 miles in them and my feet did not hurt at all. Super pleased with the purchaseb

I wear a 10 1/2

I wear a 10 1/2 shoe and I went up a size to the 11 which was recommended and I had to buy inserts to help take up some room, which still isn’t comfortable. The size 10 boot I tried on at a local Sitka dealer was too tight on my foot. So I wish Sitka had made half sizes

The Pinnacle of Hunting Boots

I don't typically leave reviews, however, after wearing these boots in my layout blind hunting geese, grooming xc ski trails on the ATV, Ice Fishing, Working around the house in knee deep snow, i have to say these are the absolute most comfortable, lightest, breathable boots i have ever had on my feet. If and when these wear out i will definitely be buying another set, i hope they last for years to come.

Nice Boot

Comfortable and an overall nice boot. Been wearing them a lot in marshy/wet areas and feet has stayed dry.

Boots

Nice looking boot and fit true to size. Downfall is no adjustment for your calf so with that being said if you have bigger calf’s they are very tight and uncomfortable. Sent back the next day.

True to fit. Great pattern

True to fit. Great pattern to complete the system.

Big miss…for me

I gave this a three star because of the calf fitment. It’s not the boots fault but I have one calf that is much larger than the other and it’s really hard for me to find boots that fit. I really wish these had some sort of gusseted zipper or Buckle down option to where I can open up one boot more than the other. If I had that I would have given it a four star but only because nothing is perfect so therefore I rarely give anything a five star. But these boots are so awesome and fit so great in the foot bed along with the materials being so nice that I possibly would have given it a five star if it had some type of zipper waterproof gusset on the side or back like the gum leaf boots. I guess I will have to be forced to return these

Best boots EVER!!

Everything I ever needed in a boot to keep me warm, light and dry. Very comfortable and light. Great boot.

GRX BOOTS

Bought these boots as soon as they were available. I’ve been using them all snow goose conservation season and they have disappointed. They are comfortable, warm, dry, and extremely light weight. It’s amazing how nice it is to walk around in dry warm boots that don’t weigh so much. I really didn’t need a new pair of boots when I bought them, but I am extremely happy I did! I highly recommend them.

The boots I've been waiting for

I'm a serious boots collector and Dunlop ambassador. Was going to buy the Uul from Zamberlan for late Deer season but not anymore. Those Ventlite are something else. I got around 100 hours in them as of now and those are perfect. Tested them from -20c to 20c. A bit warm around the 15c mark but the fact that they are goretex-lined makes you feet not stay sweaty. No more cold toes in those boots, Primaloft is so good. FYI, invest in a boot dryer so your feet feel fresh everytime

GTX Boots

Great fit. Super comfortable and much lighter than your typical knee high rubber boot.

Nice boots

Boots seem well made. Cant wait to try them out.

Good boots

The boots are comfortable, but are more loose on my feet than usual size 11. I’ve worn them scouting and shooting my bow several times in snow, mud, and water, no leaks or other issues. I’m pleased with them, but would like a tighter fit, size 10 would be too short.

Big (normal?) calves, big problems.

They look like a great boot, but I could barely get them over my calves. Certainly wouldn't be able to get them on if I had long johns on. Hope version two comes out soon with an adjuster on them.

worst boots I've ever purchased

worst pair of boots that I have ever bought, purchased them for a hog hunt, the temperature the first night was 26 degrees, my feet froze. And I also had the Sitka heavy weigh socks on. the second night the temperature was 34 degrees, and my feet got cold again. I would not recommend purchasing these boots!

VentLite GTX boot review

This boot is a fantastic addition to daily kit for dog training and water fowl hunting. Much lighter than traditional knee boots and very breathable.

Love these boots!

Fit perfect, a little taller than muck boots, not a lot maybe 2 inches. feel great, great quality.

Black

Really like the gtx boots , fit true to size, and light weight. There perfect for hunting in South Georgia where We have mild winters mostly.

super light and comfy

Disclaimer: I've only had these for a few weeks. But, in that time they've had plenty of use. They slip on easily without even needing to touch the boot with your hand. Taking them off is also easy with the built in boot jack. Despite the ease of putting on and removing, they don't slip around when walking, like you'd expect. They are extremely light weight compared to a conventional rubber or neoprene boot. The traction is surprisingly great; wore around in icy conditions on concrete incline without slippage. They're much taller than a typical boot, which I love. They are warm when you want warm, and neutral temp when you're out of the cold (e. g. walking around shopping at Wal-Mart. They seem to breathe out the sweat very well. I cannot yet attest to the water proofedness during submerging. I highly recommend these boots.

No calf ajustement

Great boot, well constructed, no adjustment for large calves. So I can't use it. I can't buy it

not good Sitka is a name I trusted

the boots did not preform as advertised my feet got cool in them at 26 degree weather with wear the new socks went back the next nigth it was 34 degrees and was wears hollow alpaca socks same very disappoint in the boots you should have did more testing before sending to market I have bought 3 pair of these boots me and my son both got cold feet both nigth.

Boots

Very comfortable feels like a lightweight tennis shoe.

Great Boots

Don't look anywhere else. These will be the winner for the foreseeable future.

Loving Life

The boots felt awesome right off and the more I wear them the more they are becoming my favs. I hunt rugged terrain from south Alabama to the mountains of Montana and can’t wait to put these babies thru the trials. Thanks for another Great product!!!!!

Very Happy

I am a big Sitka fan. I have been looking for a better rubber boot for years. These fit the bill so far. I have not had them in the brutal cold yet but they have proven to be very comfortable and feel great. They fit really well and your feet stay put. Long hikes to and from the stand should not be a problem.

Innovative boots

These boots are very comfortable, waterproof, and well built. I've never been a rubber boot fan, but these are great. They have great traction with the Vibram sole and the inserts to protect my heals when hiking, creek walking, and chores around the house. My feet don't sweat do to the Gortex liner. Paired with some Sitka socks and you have a great combo. They slide into my climber base nicely. They are easy on and off. The Cover camo looks great. They are wide at the calf area to tuck your jeans or camo pants into. I wear size 12 in Danner and Irish Setter boots and my 12 Sitka boots fit perfect. I'll be buying them in Optifade and probably another solid color eventually.
