It’s all hands on deck in Michigan for turkey season on The Fair Chase podcast, but we’re hitting pause to talk boots with Mike Edwards from Schnee’s in Bozeman, Montana.
Mike’s been steeped in boots and big game hunting since he was a kid, taking over the family business that’s been crafting legendary pack boots and mountain boots since the ‘80s. From chasing mule deer to obsessing over bow hunting, he knows what keeps your feet happy on the mountain.
We nerd out on what makes a killer hunting boot, why pack boots deserve more love, and how to avoid blisters that’ll tank your hunt. Whether you’re a Midwest deer slayer or planning a Western elk adventure, Mike’s got the lowdown on picking the perfect pair.
We also cover:
- Why a good outsole and polyurethane midsole are non-negotiable
- Stiff vs. soft boots: when to go quiet or dig into sidehills like a pro
- The biggest mistake hunters make (hint: don’t expect boots to “stretch out”)
- How to break in boots right, without shrinking them by a campfire
