Hunting Life Interview with Jon Edwards

Just thought we’d share Hunting Life’s video podcast interview with Schnee’s CEO Jon Edwards during the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Elk Camp in March.  Kevin Paulson and Jon talk about the Schnee’s Pac Boot and the new Sheephunter boot. The whole series of Hunting Life Adventure interviews can be seen on Huntinglife.com’s blog pages

Congratulations!

Rex (nearest the camera) and Ben lead Ross Macdonald and Christine Peters after their wedding on March 7th, 2009. This photo was taken at their ranch, 98 Ranch, in southern Saskatchewan, Canada (about 5 miles north of the Montana border).

This is one of the best photos we’ve seen of our Schnee’s 13″ Hunter pac boot in action!  Our congratulations go out to Ross and Christine!

La Sportiva Hiking Boots & La Sportiva Trail Running Shoes

With all the excitement on Friday we nearly overlooked the arrival on Friday of our newest La Sportiva hiking boots and trail running shoes.

For you hikers, we received the La Sportiva Cascade GTX, the FC 3.0 GTX, and the FC 1.1.  All of these are excellent hiking boots. The Cascade GTX is a heavy-duty waterproof leather and fabric hiking boot for long days with a heavy pack; the FC 3.0 is a lightweight, versatile, flex-friendly, mid-height fabric and leather waterproof hiking boot for day hikes and moderate backpack loads. The FC 1.1 is a great-fitting, lightweight, breathable, multi-use, light hiking shoe.

For you trail runners, we received three men’s models and four women’s models so far. In men’s, we have the newest Crosslite, La Sportiva’s low profile neutral lightweight shoe with aggressive lugs for increased traction and cushioning. The Crosslite was a Runner’s World Best Buy after its review in October, 2008. We also have the Wildcat, a stable, neutral, and extremely well cushioned trail running shoe. And we have the newest Fireblade, a popular, low profile, neutral, lightweight extremely stable performance trainer with moderate pronation control.

New Saucony Arrival

New shipment of Saucony running shoes arrived today: the Saucony ProGrid Guide 2, the Saucony ProGrid Stabil, ProGrid Xodus, and the ProGrid Ride. All of these shoes are excellent examples of Saucony’s excellent ProGrid cushioning system, which dissipates shock while setting the foot up for a smooth, heel-to-toe transition.

The ProGrid Xodus won a Runner’s World “Editor’s Choice” award in the trail running shoe category in their October, 2008 shoe reviews.

We’ve been wanting to add Saucony for a long time, and having these top shoes gives our customers even more to choose from. We’re very excited to have these in stock.
