Anyone try the eBay kennetreks? It looks like they come direct from the company, just refurbs. I'm looking for quality boots, just can't fork over full price right now.

Should try calling Carter's boot and show repair in Bozeman, they're Kenetrek's repair shop. I know they've had used Kenetrek's . Personally it is a large expense but what value do you put on your two cylinder Cadillacs ?

From what I understand they are customer returns, sold by the company. I don't think they carry the same warrenty as boots sold at full retail if memory serves me correctly. I intend on buying a set from there when my current pair wears out.

I have purchased two pairs of Kenetreks from Camofire (Mountain Extreme 400's and Kenetrek hikers) at amazingly good prices and they are my best boots. ('Haven't seen them on Camofire lately though.)

I purchased a pair of the Mountain Extreme NI. Got them for $220, and they looked really nice. The pictures of the sole and boot can tell you quite a bit about the condition. The description also tells you if there are any defects, such as "this boot leaks" or "small nicks in leather at toebox". Also tells you what percentage of sole is left on the boot. Upon receiving them, you can return them within 30 days for a refund if you aren't satisfied. I don't know about the warranty. The boots are not marked (that I can see), so I'm not sure they could tell if you bought them new or used and returned them later on for warranty, especially if you don't have to provide proof of purchase (receipt).

Do Kennetreks tend to run true to size? How about width?
I feel they do run true to size. I wear size 10 in tennis shoes and also in Danner boots. The size 10 Kennetreks I tried on would be the size I would purchase. I had no issues with the width but I don't have wide feet. Also, while speaking with the owner, he stated that the boots will conform to your foot as well as you break them in. He said you should pick one type of sock and always where it when wearing your boots. That way you get the same fit everytime.
