Jeff Wemmer, President and CEO of Monahans, TX-based Texas Hunt Co put one of the early pairs of Thula Thula “PHs” through its paces in the rugged and unforgiving High Plains of West Texas during the spring, summer and fall of 2007. Wemmer, a former endurance athlete was training in the desert for a difficult mountain elephant hunt in Zimbabwe. He continued to test his original pair of Thula Thula “PH” boots during his rigorous dove and quail hunting regimine during the fall and winter of 2007, logging well over 100 foot-miles.
Wemmer reports “Wearing the Thula Thula “PH”s is like walking barefoot. They provide great feedback from the ground. They're the quietest shoe I have ever worn. And most comfortable!” Another thing I noticed is that I don't skip the toe of the boot in brush like I would with a shoe with a sole and midsole. I think you really have something here with the lower profile. These are better than anything I have ever worn.”
Well known author, highly regarded big game hunter and host of Gander Mountain's Tracks Across Africa TV Show Craig Boddington was also a Thula Thula “PH” test pilot.
“I've been wearing them constantly since receiving them. I can't keep them off my feet! Not only is the Thula Thula is incredibly comfortable and quiet; they allow you to have a unique feel for the ground, the perfect stalking boot-yet tough enough to keep thorns at bay and comfortable enough to wear all day. I'm looking forward to closing on elephants in the Thula Thula.”
