Schnee's Bozeman
Hi-
This is my first post, so "hello" to everyone.
I am strongly considering buying a
SCHNEE'S Bozeman High 8"
and was wondering if any of you could give me some insight. Are these good boots? Are they larger/wider than normal boots? I had a pair of Danner boots size 8.5 but most of my other shoes are size 9 so I am little worried about which size to get.
Hope you guys can help me out.
Pete

RE: Schnee's Bozeman
I've worn Schnee's pac boots for years...although not the one's you refer to. They are EXCELLANT, WELL MADE, VERY COMFORTABLE boots. I don't recall their sizes running much different than "normal" (whatever that means). I just bought a size large enough to accomodate my foot comfortably while wearing liners and a heavy wool hunting sock. BTW, welcome to this fine forum!

Can't help you with direct experience.I am in the process myself of buying a new pair of boots from Schnee's.I was torn between the Lowa Seeker GTX and the Bozeman.I opted for the Lowa.The Bozeman description sounds excellent and the liner is an event liner which is the cutting edge material for breatheable water proof garments.
Wish I could help more!
I will be interested to hear how you make out.

RE: Schnee's Bozeman
thanks guys.
I encountered another problem. Schnee's page says an US size 9 is the equivalent to an European size 41. Since all my shoes and all the conversion charts I found state that 9 is the equivalent to 43. I wrote an email to Schnee's and they told me that size 9 is the equivalent to an European 39. What the hell?

BUT after half an hour walking through wet grass my socks are soaked. Now I have to return them...
