Excerpt: We recently tested the Kenetrek Wildland Fire Non-insulated Leather Boot in Brown, comparing it to its insulated counterparts in harsh wildfire conditions. The leather construction provided excellent durability, though we noted it required some break-in time to mold to our feet. The lack of insulation meant hands-down comfort in warmer weather, making them a solid choice for crews working in mild climates. However, we did find our feet got sweaty after long periods of活动. While not ideal for extreme heat, they performed adequately in rotational deployments. The seamless toe box and sturdy sole delivered reliable support, but we’d caution against icy conditions. For us, the non-insulated model excels where breathability and weight savings matter most. If wildfire operations favor drier weather and lighter gear, this boot is a compelling option—just prepare for the sweat factor.
