I use La Sportiva TX4s most of the time. I have to find something else though because La Sportiva fucked up the shoe with a bad a redesign so I won't be ably to buy a new pair when these wear out.

Anon03/14/26, 22:37No.2863550

Merrel moabs for the summer, keen revel polars for the winter. I opted for the non-waterproof moabs, but when they wear out I think I'm going to try something with even more ventilation like a trail runner.

For trails Norda 001. Super comfortable, lightweight, quickdrying and very durable. It’s not the waterproof G+ version but for rain and wet vegetation they are very water resistant doe to being dyneema. But they will soak if it’s wet enough

I wear my work boots 100% of the time except during martial arts practiceIf your work boots are comfortable enough to walk and stand and run for 10 hours a day, they should be comfortable enough to hike a couple mountains too. Plus fuck a rattler snake he ain't making it through my cowhides

I really like these kind of cheapo boots from Free Soldier. They're light weight and hold up on rough treks, I had a pair while tramping the US for a few years and it only took about 3 years for asphalt to start making its presence known through the thinness of the soles, very little stitching problems although some threads were sticking out of both pairs I got. I replaced my old ones and they're still the same.I could have gotten better, there's a leather zero-drop boot my friend has been wearing for 5 years now and they're immaculate, but I wanted something that was both a boot that did boot things and light weight enough it didn't bother me to hand them off my pack.

Been wearing Altra LP for my summer/fall trips in SN. Great comfortable shoe but they just last a season and a half at most, with the tread worn and upper dangerously worn. They aren't great for going off trail because they do not have thick uppers. Nonetheless they have served me well. Whether that be scrambling a mountain peak, wet wading for a full day of fishing, or slogging through scree up some gully.This summer I am going to try a more protective, but still trail runner shoe. Has a rock plate and some more plastic around the foot for protection. The Ultra Raptor 3 from la sportiva. I stay away from goretex in the summer because I find it sweaty and harder to dry when wet.

For shoe get the belleville mini mil shoe and just replace the insole with whatever of your choice for comfort. If the shoe isn't side stitched always buy a aquaseal glue to fix any delamination and you'll have a durable cheap shoe without getting tricked into buying something advertised as specialty because its built with a mattress amount of foam. I tend to prefer gaiters but for boots id go with Zamberlan and their Cormon model specifically. Like the bellevilles i recommend getting the wider fit for both the shoes and the zamberlan boots. Zamberlans can be a bit narrow like most Italian boots. But like I mentioned with the foam adding unnecessary shit for shoes since you can adjust comfort with insoles, a lot of hiking boots try to trick you with 'technology'. The uppers of Merrell moans is over designed for low quality workers and is just asking to get shredded. Even Lowas popular models like the zephyr is over designed with the upper. For a boot you want as simple as design as possible as zamberlan does that trying to use 1 leather piece to wrap around the boot with minimal stitching. They also use a stitched rubber around too for durability. A part that is notorious for peeling off is stitched here. Its still a 2.5 pound boot too so less fatigue with zamberlans excellent durability. Everyone else's suggestions here are gay and every response below this one, only uses their footwear for blowing people.

Going to go hike Mt Charleston barefoot in these things, can't wait for all the normie fags to stop me on the trail and say "Woah!" or "How can you do that?" while I effortlessly glide past them heading up the trail to Griffith Peak. The earth shall bend beneath my feet, while the rubber fuckers tiptoe around me like the faggot ass pansies that they are.

Alpina trappers. I've got some shorter lanx boots I use for lighter things like dog walks with friends where I don't need as much ankle support or expect to get wet and muddy.

I wore Lowa Zephyr 2s on a moose hunt and they were extremely comfortable and convenient on multiple 10 mile days carrying a gun and rain gear and a bunch of other shit. I also have a pair of Salomon force XA Pro 3D mids that are, as far as I can tell, even more comfortable, but not as durable or supportive, I wore them on a couple hikes in Japan and they were awesome.

One of my best pairs of boots were from Columbia, bought them back in like 2010 or so. Took them out bush on the regular on both shorter and prolonged, several day, hikes. Those bastards lasted 10 years before the soles finally started delaminating a fair bit and I couldn't be arsed to keep gluing them.Maybe around 2021 I got a pair of Keen Targhee EXPs like pic rel. They're now my main innawoods pair and been quite happy with them. Good waterproofing, comfortable with prolonged wear and a nice and wide toebox (perfect if youve got extra wide feet like me).Tried on a bunch of salomons and all that other shit in camping stores and they felt like ass off the bat, weirdly high heels, narrow toe boxes, etc.

South African Waxi boots. Best boots I've ever worn.

Anon05/10/26, 18:05No.2868314

Gonna name drop them here because I see literally no mention, probably gonna sound like a marketing shill, but Aku is a fucking amazing brand. I guess they're bigger in EU (Italian company), but still a relatively small player. I heard they're popular with SAR in the UK and Nordics. Found out about them on a trip to Iceland. They do have a US web store, but with less selection.Literally the most common comfortable shit I've ever worn. Never get blisters. Also they're the only company making a three season Mountaineering boot that's actually comfortable to hike miles on the approach in. Since I discovered them, I've slowly replaced all my /out/ footwear.Light hiking / scrambling - Rock DFS Backpacking - Superalp GTX Mountaineering / snow - Aurai DFSThey also make tacticool versions of a lot of their shit, if that's your jam.

Got these Zamberlans earlier this year to replace an ancient pair of Vasque Breezes. The vasques were great but after the company was sold to China the quality went to absolute dogshit. The zams are heavy but feel bombproof, and I like that they can be resoled. Still breaking in a bit after 5 hikes but liking them more every time.

Any opinions on any of the Brooks trail runners? I wear the Adrenaline GTS for road running and I like them well enough. I was thinking about getting the Altra lone peak 9+, but I've heard there's a bit of an adjustment period if you're not used to zero drop. Is that true? I'll probably be using them mostly for hiking if that makes a difference
