so far so good I guess
ok over time I might have a more positive outlook on this boot but my first impression was "its a real pain to slip on" you almost need Ballerina type dexterity to get your foot in the first few times. The tongue seems sewn wayy high but then over time it becomes easier to slip on. Once on they are comfortable and warm. The big square toe is odd but its just a visual thing. For the price you cant beat OP's price and believe me I have tried and $ for $ you probably wont find a better boot made ( or at least I hope not)//altho it is Chines made which is disheartening and another 3 star reason...

Good Pair of Starter Hunting Boots- 1 Year Review (2 hunting seasons). Held Up Well So Far...
I have owned the Gunflint II boots for over a year and used them through two squirrel and deer seasons primarily in the woods of East Texas. I have hunted wearing the Irish Setter Gunflint II 1000 gram insulated boots in the autumn, winter, and spring. Keep in mind, THESE ARE NOT SNAKE BOOTS! I have worn them in temps down into the 20s (Fahrenheit) and up into the low 80s. My feet remained dry (be mindful to wear socks appropriate for the weather) while trekking through light snow, dew and rain-soaked foliage, creek bottoms, and dry woods in warmer spring weather. They protected my feet and ankles from green briars and thick brush while providing adequate support when having to drag a deer or sliding down a short embankment. They don't seem to hold a ton of mud, although I didn't make it a point to walk through a lot of thick mud that went over the top of the toe of the boots. I have briefly slipped into creek water where the water came just overt the top of the foot of the boot for a moment and my feet remained dry. I would say that I have worn them comfortably for periods up to 4-5 hours. I have walked 3-5 miles in a day in these boots without adding inserts and my feet felt fine afterwards.
When putting them on I recommend loosening the laces almost all the way down, pulling the tongue forward, and opening the collar of the uppers before trying to force your foot into the boot. To lace and comfortably tie them try starting from the mid-foot area of the lower laces, pull...

Sturdy but hits ankle in a bad spot
I was excited to get these and immediately started wearing them to make sure they will be as comfortable as they look for a hunt coming up in a few weeks. Unfortunately, two problems: (1) like another reviewer, I found them very hard to get on, as the tongue is sewed up so high; (2) the spot where the tongue joins the boot upper then creates a knot which hits me right on the ankle bone. With only a few hours, and not even much walking, I was looking for the blister.
Sorry, I am returning these.
