Alpine Design Hiking Boot

Sole came off after 20 hikes. Full review

Oboz Bridger Mid Waterproof

Not a backpacking boot. Soft sole for walking on rocks. Blister creator, and toenail abuser. I bought these boots for a long backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon. People were falling all over themselves talking these up, so I figured they must be a decent boot. After getting them broke in months before the trip I figured my feet would be comfortable and happy, not so much. I don't understand this cult-like following people have for these boots. The boots felt really decent until we hiked into the… Full review

Oboz Sypes Mid Leather Waterproof

Oboz fit, which is a "C" heel and a "D" toe box. Perfect (for me). But these are so narrow they might be a "B" width. Low volume for sure. Saw these on sale and figured why not? Leather, waterproof, and that Oboz fit that is AFAICT unique. I have a foot that is (on a Brannock) size 12 arch, size 11 length size, a "C" width. In other words, short toes, long arch, narrow foot. Basically no shoe ever fit me well until Oboz came along. For the record, Lowa makes one shoe suitable for backpacking in… Full review

Belleville Mini-Mil TR102

Almost perfect. Almost. I've been wearing minimalist shoes (Xero) for three years now, and I've been looking for a general outdoor boot with the same qualities. Belleville almost nailed it.  The things they got right were sole flex and light weight. It's basically a lightweight stripped down 1960s Jungle Boot with a flat, thin, and flexible sole. The heel counter is tall and stiff and it tilts forward, digging into the Achilles tendon. That isn't needed in a boot with such a flexible sole. To make… Full review

Lowa Renegade GTX Mid

TERRIBLE shoe. This is a rip-off. I can't believe what happened! Avoid. TERRIBLE shoe. Avoid. Rip-off. I can't believe what happened. I used these boots a few times in a few years but the sole fell apart, not possible to repair. I am gutted!      Full review

Meindl Bergell MFS Hiker

I love the Vibram sole and rubber above the sole for extra waterproofing. A very high quality product at a fair price. IMHO I have had them for about 4 months and hiked in Lowa in the snow in 0°F weather and my feet never did get cold even though they’re uninsulated boots.  I like the Vibram sole and rubber above the sole, and waterproofing has been 100% so far.   Longest day hike so far is 6 miles recovering from a knee injury and my feet felt great no soreness or blisters. I do go through… Full review

Altberg Kisdon GFit

Altberg Kisdons are fairly stiff soled, tough, and grippy waterproof walking boots made with Nubuck leather.                    Altberg Kisdon G-fit (size 9) Altberg Kisdon walking boots. These are one tough pair of boots. They are a fairly stiff soled boot with some built-in toe roll. They have a full rubber rand which also goes high over the toe box with a Sympatex waterproof lining. Comfortable to wear and haven't had any problems with rubbing. They fit my feet nice and they don't squash… Full review

Danner Mountain 600

Lightweight, waterproof hiking boots for light duty and urban use. Danner is a well-known brand in hiking footwear. The Mountain 600 is a bit different from what you normally think of Danner: a very lightweight boot, weighing not much more than a pair trail runners. The boot features Vibram soles, but not the old fashioned black soles you're familiar with. In their marketing speak: "Vibram Fuga outsole with Megagrip". Not sure what this means, but they do grip well on wet rocks and the like. The… Full review

Zamberlan 900 Rolle Evo 2 GTX

Excellent choice for a Perwanger leather upper, has a Hydrobloc material, is rugged and yet light. Sizing is critical, but the chart is reliable. Those 900's felt light. Took me a month to break them in, but it's worth it. I have small athletic calves, so I have to tighten them to the max. I've used them for two months now and they are great, much like Asolo 535. A standard hiking boot that will probably live up to 15 years of hiking in any conditions. After a few months wearing, I found them to… Full review
