Overall, a good fitting boot at a great price. The PU midsole is cushy and long lasting. The waterproof membrane is made of eVent, which is BREATHABLE, unlike the Gore-tex products of today.
Like most European shoe manufacturers, Hi-Tec makes half sizes all the way up to US 14. HOWEVER, they are not imported by the US distributor. If you would like larger half sizes, please contact them directly at http://www.hi-tec.com/us/content.php?page=contact_us so that they know such a market exists.
This is the only brand I know of that makes boots using eVent, but it is only a matter of time before others begin to. Here is even a document from the US military comparing the fabrics: http://www.verber.com/mark/outdoors/gear/breathability.pdf
Materials: Nubuck, eVent liner
Use: Everything from short dayhikes to weekend trips.
Break-in Period: 10 miles.
Price Paid: $90
