So true....everyone can suggest their favorites but ultimately you need to take suggestions and go with the one that feels the best on your foot. There is nothin like a quality boot either way. I dont have a lot of shoes compared to most women (yeah, I know) bt when I buy a pair of boots for $200-$300 and wear the hell out of them its still cheaper and more comforatble that 10 pairs of $50 boots that hurt my feet, knees, hips.....just saying. Food for thought. |

I've had good luck with KNAPP shoes for fifty years. Since then they were sold, moved to China ,made crap, then taken over again , brought back to the states and are making a nice work shoe

Interesting but wherever I see this the the common denominator is Red Wing.
Plenty of different types too - plus there are pre-broken in here if you want to test drive http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_saca...%2527s%2529=14 |

Was into hiking backpacking a lot in my younger days. The best advice is go to a real store and try on different high end brands/ models with in the brand with the socks you plan on wearing. Do this in the afternoon too when you foot tends to be slightly swollen. The best boot is 100% the one that fits you best. I always fit into Aslos and wore those but many people like Vasque. As some said, depending on your ethics, once you find a high end pair that fits shop around a bit, look for xmas/black friday sales or online if you feel comfortable walking away from the sales guy. My brother is trying to convince me of Redwings, he swears by em for working. Wears them hunting as well and walks a lot.
