Boot Review: L.L. Bean GTX Leather Cresta Hikers

They're not fancy, but they do the job.

Nothing fancy about these proven classics–just great fit, durable construction, and an affordable price tag. We love the dead-on sizing (thanks to three widths), and the right amount of toe room for long trips. The fit, waterproofing, and sturdy sole earned the Crestas top honors in our all-purpose boot test. Our only wish is for a little more underfoot cushion and a rand to protect the smooth leather.

Price: $169
