Boot me!

I'm looking to get some info about some good hiking boots that are also waterproof.....or at least resistant to a good degree. Which ones do you folks like? They have to be comfortable to walk in all day.

Ive got a pair of ankle height Vasque hiking boots that are my favorite. Not completely waterproof, but enough that i usually dont have any wet sock problems.

My personal favorite brand for water resistant boots are "Bogs," not the cheapest boots, but definitely high quality.

Danner Danner and Danner. I am walking on concrete 40-50 hours a week and am comfortable,nothing else has come close,I've tried them ALL. 16285 8" Workman with replaceable Vibram soles. Walking anywhere on turf,woods,wet ground....a dream. EXTREMELY comfortable and durable. And a sole that is second to none for applying pressure to a shovel and squashing plugs back into the ground efficiently. Around 250.00 a pair,give or take...I wear them 24/7.

Danner boots may be great, but you have to have a narrow foot to wear them (I don't think I have Fred Flintstone feet, I think my feet are fairly normal). Merrel make some boots that might work for you. I have a couple pairs that I wore in AFG and have had no complaints. My favorites were by Patagonia (for fit and comfort), but the lowers didn't last too long.

I wear Keen hiking shoes. I like these low ones, but they make a mid cut just like it. Waterproof and comfy, but stiff for shovel stomping.

All good info...but remember, in terms of water-proof...your best choice is a boot with a "GORE-TEX" tag. Big difference, water-proof, water resistant...the Gore-tex boot will NOT get wet. Believe me, I work outdoors and one of my friends turned me on to the Gore-TEX thing and I've NEVER had wet feet. Sure, cost more...but u get what you pay for...Ddf

I think the shape of each person's feet are suited to their own particular brand. I personally love Asolo boots. The only time I ever got blisters in them was one day where I walked 32 miles on pavement.

 

[cudamark]

Thanks for all the info. Looks like several to choose from. I'll be walking miles on plowed farmers' fields that may or may not be muddy.

I bought a pair of MUCK Boots for muddy field hunting. If they are good enough for the farmers, they are good enough for me.
