Kangaroo Boots?

[Timothy Salgado]

Jim I use the LL Bean Kangaroo Upland boots , like was said before they are light, but in wet conditions on grass , etc they’re slippery and not for rough terrain. I’ve worn mine mainly for pheasant hunting here in Pa. The Pa Game Commission has transitioned my local Gamelands over to grass fields from the hedge row/ crop fields of the past. I’ve attached photos and you can see the wear and tear to the kangaroo leather from the grass, those boots are five years old as compared to a pair of Danners from 2004. I pulled them out to apply some leather conditioner , etc. I do plan to buy a new LL Bean pair soon as I do appreciate the light weight advantage. Hope this helps.

Jim, also the LL Beans are not good at all in light snow , they have no traction for that.

I’ve been wearing the kangaroo upland boots for years. I have two pair in rotation now(one for daily work and one for hunting) and I have a third pair in the box. They are warm, dry, lightweight and comfortable. I prefer a vibram sole over a lug for most of my work and hunting. I wear lug soles while logging and hunting in the snow.
