User Review: Hi-Tec Altitude II

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

Reviewed December 18, 2004 by Daniel

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Materials: leather
Use: winter boot, short hikes if they last into spring
Break-in Period: 3 days
Weight: 2.5 lbs or something like that
Price Paid: $50

These are worth what I paid for them, but not the $80 list. They are lighter-weight than I'm used to, so to me they feel rather flimsy. I wouldn't use them for long trips where you intend to cover a lot of ground, but the break in is very short and they are very shock absorbing. Ankle support is good. The only downside so far is that the tongue is only waterproof up to a low-top level and I prefer the waterproofing to go all the way to the top of the boot. I bought these to ruin this winter and if they are still waterproof in the spring I'd give them an extra star.
