Decent boot

This is a decent boot. It's not water proof, I stepped across a brook that was barely 3 inches deep and quickly felt the water trickling between my toes. after that i avoided unnecessary treads through water. They are a good boot for the average hiker though if you get out every weekend or something invest in a much better boot. But if you the occasional weekend warrior take a look into these.

Great hicking boots

Well made boot,very comfortable. I bought these as an upgrade to the lower quality inexpensive pair and I am very happy with this decision. Fit like a glove and easy to wear.

I've put about 10 muddy miles on mine so far, and like them, although I did add an inner sole to take out some of the slop. The shoe runs narrow and small, so order at least a half-size larger than you ordinarily might. I like the fact that the rubber comes up high."

Great Boot

I've owned 7 pairs of Hi-Tech Boots in my life time and these are just like the rest, comfortable and perfect fit. I've averaged five years per pair and I don't think you can buy a better Boot for the money. My only complaint with these boots is I wish the upper speed hooks were a little lower on the boot. Besides that I would recommend them.
