Herman Men's Survivor

Great boots, have not had any problems with them. I have not had a problem with my camo hollow points, fit great right out of box. Bought at Walmart for $49.95 four years ago. Use them for hunting and outside work in Michigan winters. Feet stay warm but can get damp sometimes, No boot or shoe is completely waterproof, even my Rocky boots I wear for work (letter carrier). I like these boots a lot, wish I could find more. Full review

Lowa Men's Baffin Pro

Excellent and durable four-season hiking boot. I like to hike in the winter and summer/fall seasons. This boot suits my needs. Over the last few years. I had used several top brand boots to accommodate my expanding foot. The Lowa Baffin Pro is by far the best all-round boot I ever had. I usually hike in the winter and summer. I never lost a step with this leather lined beauty. Just within the last year alone I hiked the Camino de Santiago twice, that is around 1800 km in total. The boot crossed… Full review

Rugged Outback Waterproof Hikers

Heel collapsed in less then two months, no support. Soles wear a lot faster then they should, will never buy these again. In the fifteen years I drove truck this is the first time I've had any issues with the Rugged Outback brand. Have always liked this brand, but was sadly disappointed by these boots. Full review

La Sportiva Men's Omega GTX

Comfortable out of the box. I think the wide toe box is paramount for me. To me it seems most European boots and approach shoes have a narrow toe box that squeezes my toes. I bought these boots to replace a pairs of all leather Lowa BP boots that were stiffer at the upper boot and caused some discomfort in the long period of breaking-in. I always replace the factory footbed with a high-arch sport footbed. While I have not worn them for more then a couple hours in the Colorado winter, they have keep… Full review

Fabiano Trionic

Best boots I've ever owned. Got my Fabianos mail-ordered to me on the A.T. from Campmor during my thru-hike in '89. No break in. Put them on at the base of Mt. Moosilauke and no blisters. Still have them, as does my wife. Got another pair off eBay for my son who loves them as well. Just got finished Sno-Sealing all three pairs.  Full review

Scarpa Attack

I have been utilizing the Scarpa Attack for over 20 years. They are lightweight, very durable, and comfortable. A good all round boot for the UK's climate, lower level. It's time to put them into retirement as the leather is starting to crack around the sides, been applying lots of wax. Sorry to see them go. Let's see what Scarpa has in their place as this design is now discontinued. The fit of the shoe was good for me, as I have wide feet. The lacing system is very easy to adjust. Breaking in time… Full review

Herman Men's Survivor

These are the worst boots ever. I paid top dollar for a pair and went to a junkyard to pull an engine. Fell apart and had to strap wires and seat belt parts to hold it together. With the straps holding it together, they have held up for a year now. Junkyard guy was so amused at my boots he gave me the old straps to keep my Frankenstein shoes together. I am stubborn and want my money out of these boots. I did that in less than an hour. The Japanese parts are lasting much longer. Horrible fit Terrible… Full review

Herman Men's Survivor

Bought a pair of these on clearance from Walmart seven or eight years ago. They have been the BEST BOOT EVER!!! The poor reviews I am reading absolutely astonish me! My husband loved these boots so much, I've been searching for days online trying to find him a new pair for Christmas. If anyone knows where to get a size 11 Herman Survivors Big Buck 5305714 boot in a size 11, give me a shout. Full review

Asolo Yukon

Purchased in 1989 for a hike in the Himalayas. Re-soled them several years ago. Still the best fitting boot/shoe I own. My boots still feel great after 25 years of usage. They needed to be resoled once, but given the mileage and terrain covered, fully expected and worth it. My hikes are not as demanding as they used to be, but my feet are much more particular. These boots have molded to my feet, and I am hoping that I never need to buy another pair as they are very comfortable and provide excellent… Full review
