User Review: Hi-Tec Altitude II

Hi-Tec Altitude II
Above: The current Altitude II, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Materials: Leather
Use: Backpacking, dayhiking, construction
Price Paid: $45

These boots have served me extremely well for 4 years of 15 mile hikes each weekend, 5 day backpacking trips, climbing up mountain scree slopes, summer construction work, and post-Katrina demolition and cleanup. They're still completely waterproof, even though I have done no maintenance on them. There's still plenty of wear in them too! I've gone on tough trips where nearly everyone out of a group of 30 has quarter-sized blisters by the time we finish, and had no hot spots.

I've worn them in weather from 0-105 degrees, from Maine and Nebraska winters in snow and over ice, to the arid Rift Valley of Kenya. When this pair finally wears out (and it looks like a long time from now - lots of wear left in sole, and no separation occurring), I'll want another pair of the same.
