Time for new hiking boots - what brand/model would you recommend?
My old Merrell ones are coming apart, but they lasted ages and went through hell with me.
Based on that, I thought of getting another pair of Merrells, but discovered that recent online reviews reveal that Merrell's standards have dropped drastically.
Any advice?
I really like Five Tens. They have a wide toe box, which I need and they last quite a long time. I hike often and have probably put 150 hard miles on the pair I got this spring, other than wear on the laces they look pretty good. My brother swears by Vasques, so you might check those out too.
I have some called Trezeta (Italian). I bought these for a trip to Scotland but now have worn them daily for the last 6 years in Brazil. They handle the slopes on sand dunes without any problems. I always feel sure footed in them. They also provide great ankle support as well. Although our temperature is 30 degrees (87F) year round, my feet are always dry and comfortable.
