Chene knee boots?

[TheSportsman]

Has anyone hunted in the Chene knee boots? Been hunting in Lacrosse Grange for years but quality gone to hell. Just curious if anyone tried on pair? Weight, comfort, etc

 I haven't heard of these boots so had to look at them. I don't see any boots, all I can find are very nice waders. Which I will check into later.

Maybe you meant Schnee boots? I haven't owned a pair myself, do know a couple present and past owners.

No they offer a knee boot. Chene.  Check there Facebook

 I don't have Book of Faces. I checked their web site and didn't see boots, regardless, I don't have any, don't know anyone that does.

Sorry, I am of no help. I did see that their waders have a life time guarantee. If your boots do, that's something to look into.

I got a pair and hunted with them in September in 75-80 degree weather. I am pleased with the comfort and my feet weren't hot. If you're gonna be hunting where you're crossing water a good bit, I recommend them. They also performed well on the hills I encountered.

Very comfortable boots.

How do they do in the cold?

I was seriously considering picking up a pair in bottomland. Claim to be real rubber . But I couldn't pass up a killer deal on some bottomland alpha agilities . I don't mix and match turkey and deer season rubber boots .

I started wearing Lite Boots last year and really like them after years of Lacrosse.

Here is a FWIW on the Lacrosse Grange boots. Been wearing those for 4 decades and yes the quality has certainly gone down. The rubber starts cracking after 2 or 3 years.

What I have done is treat my Grange boots with Ballistol, a CLP oil. I have a pair from 2019 (I write the year on the back of the boots for reference) that are still going strong. No cracking yet. I rinse the mud off the boots, let them dry, and rub the Ballistol all over the boot with my hands (they say its good for the skin but I don't know about that). Then let it dry outside or in the garage. The oil has a bit of a smell to it, but that wears off with a walk or 2.

I do that twice a year. and it seems to be working well. 2019 is the first pair I treated since it was brand new. I did try the Ballistol on some boots I already had but it didn't work quite as well, but it did extend the life of the rubber by a season or two. Not sure how long the boots that I treated new will last as the 2019 pair hasn't worn out yet. This will be their 5th season tho.

I do use the heck out of my Grange boots wearing them for almost all my turkey and upland hunting. Usually running 2 pair and alternating them daily. Don't wear them for mountain hunting tho.
