Gear Guide 2009: Mid-Duty Boots

I wear Montrail Torre GTX boots, about 4 years old. Decent fit for my feet, GoreTex liner.

Have had my Limmer Lightweights for about 7 years. Best everyday hiking boots period.

on the wide feet I usually just have to buy a size larger.
shoe people dont GIVE A F*CK with their skinny little shitty shoes - if they make them wider they usually dont have them in stock anyways.
My pinky toes are permanently deformed from wearing shoes that supposedly "fit me".

after years and years I have finally come to the realization that my two feet are different sizes; one does best in a size 9.5 boot and the other in a size 10. too bad the sell them in pairs! perhaps many of us have the same problem?

my kids just did a part of the AT. They have wide feet and had trouble with their boots. One of them did most of it in his Crocs! The other one cut the side to allow his pinky some freedom. Any suggestions on best boots for E, EE, EEE width feet?

I have a variety of equipment from Hi-Tec and I've been very pleased with all of it. One of their backpacks got me through Japan this last winter very nicely. I think I'll have to try their boots.

I have a great pair of boots for what I do. I need a good insert for better comfort. I tend to feel like my feet are bruised on heel and ball after being on rough terrain. Any suggestions?

sweet baby jalapenos. show up to look at boots and all the reader comments are about pop ups, minus the everest request. add, anyone?

Well, if you were smart and using Firefox you wouldn't be having pop up problems... NEVER have I had a problem with pop ups, Firefox FOR THE WIN!

Hi Guys, We are planning to trek to Everesst Base camp. Could you advise on kind of shoes we need to buy? Thanks.

All you have to do to close the ad window is hit "close." It's not rocket science.

I don't get the beefs. No big pop-up problems for me.

I hope this magazine doesn't have as much advertising as this website...

I was hoping to get a look at the reviews, but your ad blocked the page, and pressing the close/exit button only opened more ad windows. Thanks, but no thanks, I'll look elsewhere for reviews
