Hiking Boots

[jloneill17]

The Asolo Fugitive GTX's made my feet hurt like hell, had to return them to REI. I went with the Lowa's very comfy

I use to work at Merrell and have been pleased with all the shoes I got from their. Might be worth a try

Any suggestions for those of us that need a EEE ?
Very few make a wide.

And if there's anyone still making boots/ shoes in the US it's news to me. I just had to pick up some steel toe redwings and was very disappointed to see they were made in china. And redwing still has the nerve to charge $190 for made in china crap

I believe you can order wide sizes online from Merrell. You won't have any luck in the Dawsonville store btw

Danner is still made in USA. Also check out Limmer and Sons.

Nope, only their stitch down soled boots are.

Danner makes a good boot but they are HEAVY as ****.....

Personally I like solomans because of the weight and support they provide. Have a good trip bud, good luck with the trout.

how much does your backpack weigh?

I've had three pairs of these with thousands of miles on each pair. I'm wearing a pair right now as a matter of fact.

Danner has brought back some of their line to Portland- Danner.com- they are high but the 600gram Ft. Lewis' are worth it-

Thorogood also has an American line of work boots- Throgoodshoes.com was the address. They are reasonably priced as well as comfortable.

I wore US made Redwing 2270 for about 4 years, but after I tried to fly and feel 13 ft landing on my feet, I can't wear Red Wings anymore.

I swapped to US Made Thorogood for my slip ons and I haven't looked back.

They just introduced a waterproof US slip on last year. Mine are so far.
