VentLite GTX Boot Reviews

As with all slip on

As with all slip on boots, buy a size smaller and you’re good to go. I don’t feel my feet sweating nearly as much as rubber hunting boots that I’ve had. I haven’t had a chance to use them in the cold yet, but it seems that if I wear the proper socks that they will do just fine for temps into the 20’s.

Unusable after 3 hunts

These boots could have been the best boots on the market. I don’t personally jump on every product that claims to be the best but I also have no problem investing or the right gear to stay warm and comfortable. I wore these boots THREE times and they developed an overwhelming chemical odor. I noticed it after the first use and thought maybe it was me as I put in some steps that day. I have never had a problem with my feet or boots smelling and I work construction for a living. Unfortunately these are extremely light and comfortable but the smell is ridiculous. They are unusable deer will wind you in a heart beat.

Worth every penny

Sitka is a little more expensive than the average brand, but in my opinion worth every penny by far the best gear on the market same goes with the boots I just purchased worth every penny

Awesome boot!

Highly recommend for those long cold sits during the rut.

Sloppy fit

Boots are extremely floppy fit and noisy. Around the foot diameter they’re ok, but everywhere else it’s ridiculous. Cmon Sitka, incorporate some sort of cinch strap at the least, especially when these boots cost twice as much as other high quality boots.

Foul Chemical Odor - Not Good for Hunting Deer

I just bought the VentLite GTX Boots and started wearing them during the whitetail deer season September 2026. After 10-20 wears, the boots developed a strong foul chemical odor. I do not have an issue with smelly feet. In fact, I’ve gone back to wearing my old boots because I can’t get rid of the smell in the VentLite GTX Boots. I keep them clean, ensure they dry completely, and used charcoal inserts. I CANNOT get rid of the strong chemical smell. The boots are just a $300+ paperweight right now. I wish I had read the reviews beforehand about this issue because there are other complaints about this same issue. I put in a warranty claim and I am hoping Sitka makes it right.

These boots are lightweight, warm

These boots are lightweight, warm and comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend them for long walks, they seem to run a little big.

Awesome Boots for my area

I ordered these in Optifade Elevated, as I have previous gear in that pattern and for my area, it's the ticket for white tail. Very comfortable, room for insulating socks and tucking pants in,. I have previously had "muck boots" in LA Cross, Thorogood, and Muck Brand, and can say these are as comfortable as my Thorogoods. They can be worn all day with no discomfort.

My feet stayed dry on

My feet stayed dry on vigorous 9 hour climb in wet rainy conditions in SE Alaska. Seemed to be a little large wearing medium socks as my heels started to slip in the boots nearly causing blisters.

Great fit

Nice boot for those muddy days. Doesn’t slip off when you get over the ankle in mud

Best Mud Boot I've Owned

Simply the best all season mud boot I have owned, worked great this May in Northern Alberta on my Bear hunt, kept warm in the cold and wet mornings/late evenings, and the hot mid days sits I felt like I was wearing tennis shoes.

This is a super awesome

This is a super awesome boot lightweight, very comfortable, and the customer service that stands by this product is unmatchable.

Great Gortex boots

I wore these all last Illinois archery season from hot October first until freezing in January. They were never too hot or cold. I love walking through deep snow and not getting snow in my boots. They are also great for plowing snow, but shoveling snow, and chores.

defective boots

sitka made is easy to get my replacement done. .

Amazing Boits

Super comfortable breathable best slippers I’ve ever had.

Boots

Very well built boots that are light and warm

Time will tell

So far so good. Ive killed turkeys at 27° and 91° wearing them. Didnt sweat ir get cold. I am a bit apprehensive about using them in deer stand. Being a taller boor im worried the top will hit the back of my thigh in a seated position and be irritating but I haven't done that yet. I did have to return for a smaller size. Im normally 11. 5 but with hunting boots and big socks I get a 12. But they were way too big. The 11s fit well with just enough room for thick socks if needed

Great boot, but need a

Great boot, but need a half size

Super lightweight great pattern I love them!!

Best boot ever

Hands down best hunting boot I have ever used. Have used them bow hunting in Kansas in 15 degree weather and turkey hunting south Texas in the heat. Great feel and grip in muddy conditions. I might buy another pair just to have a back up, they are that good.

Very comfortable and light weight

Great Boots

So far I am very impressed with these boots. I’m waiting for cold season this year to make a final review but at the moment, very true to size and great boot for Soring dew in the grass.

Lightest Waterproof boot I've ever owned

Lightweight, form fitting, breathable and waterproof. Perfect boots for the stand or on foot. They breath but still keep me warm on those late season sits. The one time I went too deep and flooded one boot, it was almost completely dry by the time I wrapped up my hike. Worth the investment.

You will spend a lot

You will spend a lot for these boots but they are worth every penny! Your feet won’t get wet and won’t get cold. I use them for upland bird hunting to ice fishing and never had an issue. Comfortable to hike in too.

I'll have to admit that

I'll have to admit that I did not like these when they first arrived. I wore them in the house for a few days to get used to them and now am very happy with them. They do seem to run a little big on me.

To bulky, and a bit

To bulky, and a bit tall

Great Boot

I've used these shoveling snow in cold south Dakota temps. I've worn these hunting. They keep my feet warm in both scenarios!

Fit and comfort outstanding

Used during deer hunting in Montana with temps in the teens, wading through water, walking long distances,about everything you could put a boot through. Preformed great, most comfortable, easy to wear boot I've ever had. More than worth the money.

Glad I bought these boots, Illinois snow goose season temps unpredictable these boots are light and comfortable.
