FOr some reason the image that you posted didn't appear originally, so when you said "I'm digging these", I thought you were referring to the shoes Carrie posted.

I think the main thing here, is that Anx is acknowledging me and completly ignoring you. biggrin

If you are talking about actual boots to hike in you need to get to the store and try on as many pairs as you can. Everyone's foot is different and what is right for others may not be right for you. There is nothing worse then being out on a long hike with aching feet.


This is good advice.

Timberland proably makes the best boots. a bit pricey, but they'll last you a lifetime.

dude... i live in the frozen north
and i bought columbia hikers last year
so they aren't heavily insulated for winter
but i love love love them! they have kept my feet warm enough.

somthing kind of like these


they are just enough when bombing around town
and the traction is wonderful... and not showing any signs of wear
after almost a constant year of use (i couldn't give them up
after winter was over so wore them spring and fall too)
and i think i got them for about $50 biggrin


because i live in the frozen north i have serious boots like these
but they are a little overkill for going to the grocery store lol

but what about my columbia's damn it! mad

lol i had car trouble once and learned the hard way
that when it's -30 outside your boots in the trunk of the car
are also -30. neutral from now on i always carry those little
chemical handwarmer packets so i can thaw the boots before
i stick my little toesies inside.

...preferably something warm and with good traction, suitable for walking city streets or climbing volcanos.

Something not too ugly, either. No blinking lights. No Nike swooshes.

Support your answers. Consider frugality. Be concise.

Thank you.

I copped a pair of Timberlands similar to these...



...just prior to the Minnie Invasion. Didn't want my dawgs to freeze.

Mine had a velcro straping system (for ankle support I guess). Fashionable yet functional.

idea Additional benefit:
They also look like they'd work well for ass-kicking your favorite Orger. wink

I have a pair of Monrail low top boots for hunting/hiking from Summit Hut. Depends on the terraine as far as material the boot is made from. We're in cactus country so leather is a good protection.
I've even worn Doc Marten boots which are good for short hikes. Not all boots are completely waterproof, and you can get waterproof socks and thermal socks for that type of weather.
If you buy a pair from Cabela's you can send them back if the fit isn't right. I absolutely must try on hiking boots in a store.
