Give these a look; really good lightweight hunting and hiking boots.

These are the boot I keep seeing in reviews as #1, along with it's short ankle cousin. I will be trying these on this week.

A lot of good input so far guys I appreciate it.

I am on pair 6 of Merrells. I usually get a couple if seasons out of them. Nothing better for early season elk. Fit like a glove, quiet and great ankle support if you get the mid hikers. IMO of course.

Another vote for Merrill Moab. They are my go to shoe / boot for hiking and daily wear. Low top for daily, medium height for hiker. Merrill's have a nice wide toe box and good heel cup that I can wear all day and still feel good.

My podiatrists recommends Keens or Merrill for the over the counter type foot gear. The booth come in wide I'm a 9.5 EEE.

I've been using the Salomon GTX 3D trail runner since March and it has has held up good so far. I really like the quick lace up feature. I have used them for about everything so far. Casual wear, jogging, and many trips were I hike several miles then transition to snowboard boots. My feet haven't got wet yet.
I fully expected them to break down by now but they havent.

I bought these last year to replace my Merrils for hiking and more importantly the high hunt. They have been awesome, they fit my feet well and are very comfortable and they kept my feet dry.

I have owned several Keens and by far one of the most comfortable hiking boots I have worn. I wore solomon speed freaks on a hunt and they were super comfy

I'm going to make a trip to REI this week to get measured and try on as many of these as possible. It seems the top three are Merrill, Salomon, and Keens from the sounds of things here.

Curious to what Keen hiker you have had luck with? The 3 pair of mid hikers I’ve used for work have deteriorated at lightning speed. They are comfortable and I keep buying them though.

Tag for later. Good info.

Salomon Ultras. They are available in low or mid and with or without goretex. Lightweight and very breathable. Sole is stiff enough for me, but that is a user specific quality. I like more flex than some.

I have some altra lone peak 4s that are pretty awesome

I've got a pair of the Salomon Speedcross 4 trail runners. Never had a hiker cup my heel so well. I originally got them for playing softball and ended up using them for a september elk hunt in the Steens. Worked great in hot weather, only problem is they let in a ton of dust. Feet are black with dirt at the end of the day

I've also heard good things about lasportiva
