"I walk on the average 2. 5 miles a day during the week, come rain or shine. I hike upwards 14 miles on any given weekend come rain or shine. I get out backpacking one weekend a month. So, I can put a few miles on a boot.

These boots. . . they hugged my feet and performed pretty well at holding them in place going uphill and down, they also held on to slippery rocks okay."

"I have owned a pair of Hi-tec leather boots for 3 years now and find they are very comfy and hard wearing, but they do make your feet sweat and the tops of them will rub on my leg leaving my feet feeling wet and sore on a long walk. defo don't recommend for summer use."

"Great boot for the price I paid. Good looking and comfortable. I bought these after returning some Timberlands that killed my feet.

I've used these boots hiking the AT and other trails around Virginia. Great on the trail, however the traction was a little iffy when scrambling over boulders on Old Rag mountain."

"I am breaking in my 2nd pair of these boots right now. I am still using my 1st pair out on the trails that I have had for almost 2 years now. I prefer a 100% leather upper boot to the Gore-tex/ Other Material mixed in with leather. These boots are light (for leather), very sturdy and most importantly very comfortable."

No slip; waterproof/feet stay dry; No break-in and no blisters. Worth more than price."

"These are amazing boots! I am going to order my third pair tomorrow. They are extremely comfortable, light, and durable for long hikes. They look great considering most hiking boots these days look ridiculous. I have took these boots with me riding freight trains and hiking the Appalachian Trail. I would trust these boots with my life."

"Great boot for the price.

I tested these boots, after a short break-in period, on a rocky trail that had a 1200 foot elevation change in less than a mile.

On both the uphill and downhill this boot performed admirably, it gripped damp rock and I had no problems with my foot slamming into the toebox on steep descents."

"These shoes are great. I walked through some deep puddles on purpose, feet stayed dry throughout the last six months. Great price compared to other hiking shoes that are waterproof. My friends all had blisters, bruises,etc on their feet from other shoes. I had none. Great shoe, great price."

"I originally bought the Hi-Tec Altitude IV for hiking, for which it worked well. Its true test of worth came when I began wearing it to work at a wildlife sanctuary in Florida. It has good traction to keep me from falling off tall, wobbly ladders."
