I have one and I wear Muck boots and they fit in the frame just fine. Maybe some of the huge pack boots may not fit?? Something happened to me the other day that you need to be aware of. My stand developed a very loud squeak. Basically the platform, I could not shift my weight or it would squeak. When I got home I found the problem. The black brace that runs across had become loose. To tighten pull out your belts and there is 2 holes on each side with an allen head bolt, 3 of mine were loose, 1 was about 3 turns loose. I will check this often from now on. Other than that it hasbeen a totally quite and trouble free stand and very easy to climb with.
