Anyone have experience with hiking shoes/boots?

They're an 11" high waterproof leather boot. I wear there for everything I do outdoors except hiking. Since my son joined the cub scouts I found there are better shoes for hiking. A good quality cross trainer or even better, a trail runner type shoe gets me much less foot fatigue. Trail runners are a lot like dual sport tires. You can find models more trail than runner or the other way around too. Altra makes several great ones, but they ain't cheap.

My feet are really wide, and they have the 4E width. I haven’t tried their waterproof boots, but the “Hot Weather Combat Boots” hold up better and longer than any other boots of that style, so i’m sure their other offerings do too. Made in USA if that matters to you.

are made in Vietnam, China or Thailand.

It seems that they aren't as durable as say a USA made Danner work-hunting boot but they are lighter in weight.

I have some plantar faciitis so I wear New Balance shoes and boots. They do have a hiking boot but it is not 100 percent USA made and I do notice that I need to replace them yearly.

I hope this helps out

Got a pair a few months ago but have not worn them much. Super comfortable. I am not to hard on shoes so we will see how they hold up. I'm 68 so they may be the last ones I buy!!

I’ve always used rocky or other hunting boots. With the prosthetics ankle being fixed any heel changes the angle it fits my nub and kills me! I tried my existing rock boots and my alligator dress boots to no avail. I couldn’t take one step in the alligators which is very sad as they are not even broke in yet.

I didn’t know that athletic shoe companies make waterproof boots for snowy places. I’m gonna get a boot made like my new balance shoes my leg was set up for.
