HI-TEC Men's Altitude VI Waterproof Leather Hiking Boots - Black/Brown, Medium/Extra Wide - Durable Outdoor Trekking & Mountain Climbing Shoes for Men

I bought a pair of Altitude Hikers - the very first version, years ago and I've owned nearly every iteration since. I'm not trying to stay on the cutting edge or anything - I just wear out a pair about every 18 months... I'm not a hiker or trekker - I wear the boots to make deliveries and put a few thousand miles on a pair going through moderate terrain and nasty weather. The uppers always give up well before the tread is gone... We'll see how these (new) Michelin soles wear...To be Honest, I wasn't very happy with the later model's (V +) sizing and quality control, going so far as returning my next-to-last pair (VI?) for a refund.I saw the VII's and liked the price so I decided to take a chance. So very glad I did. They're perfectly sized, no fraying or stitch "tags", everything well glued without over"squish" between the sole and upper and fully sewn-in lining. I put them on and THEY FIT PERFECTLY. I'm really impressed with the turn-around in quality and value with the Altitude series hikers.In my experience, these boots, as a whole, are truly comfortable from day 1, wear well, grip everywhere and, did I mention, they're comfortable.I highly recommend them, especially for daily wear.
