Hiking is a recreational activity which consists of taking long walks in outdoor environments. The activity of hiking is often performed on hiking trails that generally requires the use of special footwear, such as hiking boots, that can provide support, stability and traction on rough terrain. When hiking, the use of the appropriate hosiery can also help prevent blisters, distribute pressure and absorb shock making the experience of hiking more enjoyable.
Lowa Renegade III GTX Mid I may be the ultimate tester

Reviewer: Bonnie from Mount Hood, Oregon
I had a very bad accident with multiple broken bones in my foot. Had 3 very involved surgeries. I am left unable to work. And I thought unable to walk. I ordered 18 different hiking boots thru mail order. These are the only boots/shoes that have allowed me to walk. I bought 3 pairs to rotate them & have worn them exclusively for 18 months . This pretty much says it all about support and comfort.

I have had this shoe for a year. It still is not broken in. The leather is very stiff and uncomfortable. The shoe is built well but not the best for hiking and I am a experienced hiker. The leather does not flex enough and rubs around the ankles. The shoes cannot be laced tight around the ankles to keep debris from getting in. The leather is just too stiff. I am very disappointed.

Lowa Creek II GTX Great boots!
January 21, 2013
Reviewer: Daniel J from Saint-Armand, Quebec
Excellent boots from an excellent manufacturer. This is the second pair of Lowa boots I've owned, and I'll always get Lowa from now on. These boots in particular are as light as feathers and just as comfortable. The height of the boot makes for a very secure fit and ankle support is ample. Highly recommended winter boot.
Wears this shoe: Whenever I'm outside in the countryside in cold weather.
Vasque Bitterroot GTX Heavy duty and long lasting

Reviewer: lanceallott from Loganville, Ga
I previously own a pair of vasque hiking boots and from my experience they provide great foot protection and are very durable. They may be a tad heavy but they more than make up for it in support and comfort. I bought these online using paypal and failed to use the discount code. After making a phone call, a charge back credit reduced my billed price by 25% with no problems whatsoever. I guess the only real drawback for these boots is that they require several weeks break-in period before extended use.
Wears this shoe: Wearing them a few hours everyday to break-in for AT thru hike this spring.

Bought these wonderful leather shoes for my husband after already owning a brown pair. They are very comfortable and look new inside and out even after a years wear. Would recommend to any man for casual or work shoes.
