These styles do go in cycles. In the 1970's, while in junior high school, one year everybody at school (including yours truely) started wearing hiking boots. These were all old school, heavy leather, waffle stomped types. In other words, perfect for walking around school. I had the knowledge and foresight to buy quality boots, Vasque Hiker II's, and sold them on ebay not long ago for nearly what I paid for them originally. To the extent folks are buying outerwear at REI or the North Face, at least they are getting a product that should last some years and will perform well in nasty weather.
