Update: CleanShot
In our
Summer
2018
reviews,
we said the
CleanShot
“shoot through” bore-cleaning
cartridge fills the bill as an “end
of the day,” in-the-field, quick and
easy-to-use cleaner. At the time
we said it was only available in
12-gauge but that other gauges were
under development. CleanShot is
now available in 20-gauge versions.

lightweight but able to take it.
What’s improved here is how the
boots feel when you put them on at the
beginning of the day. They feel more
rugged and “bootlike.” We sensed
that mainly comes from the revised
construction of the outer layer of the
boot. Now, the VaprTrek features
Armatec XT technology, which adds
durability and abrasion resistance in
high wear areas of the heel and toe
as well as strategically placed leather
reinforcement to protect flex points for
enhanced durability over time.
That added toughness built into the
exterior of the shoe seemed to transfer,
at least to us, into a “less giving” interior.
We felt the boots held our feet much
more securely and offered less wiggle
room. As a result, after our test hike, we
thought we’d wear a thinner sock next
time.

Let’s face it:
Snakes and thorns
and plenty of other
creepy-crawlies haunt the same areas
as do many of our favorite game birds,
like southern and desert quail or grouse
in the sagebrush. But the SnakeGuard
construction of these boots features a
non-woven material that is combined
with leather or nylon to impede all the
nasty stuff. Light in weight, these boots
fit comfortably and are easy to wear
all day. The thick padding on the calf,
however, might get warm if the temps
are high, but that’s a small price to pay
for peace of mind.

Finally, true upland footwear that
remind us of the boots our grandfathers
wore but which are designed
specifically to fit a woman’s foot. The
Women’s Wingshooter offers all of the
comfort you’d expect from an Irish
Setter boot. It is completely waterproof,
and its white Prairie sole has reduced
tread depth to minimize mud buildup
while providing excellent traction. Its
full grain leather construction means
you shouldn’t try to trek around all day
in the upland fields the first time you
wear them. After a reasonable breaking-
in period, they will fit like old friends.A Closer Look
