To hike you need a dedicated boot. My Vasques are ancient and have taken me over most of the AT. Although they are *retired*, I can't part with them. Yet. They're a part of my life.

I stopped buying Vasques when they went to the more athletic shoe look. They might be better for hiking and more comfortable, but if I’m wearing a hiking boot I have old school expectations. I still have my old pair of clunky Frankenstein-shoe looking Vasques with the steel toe and massive lug sole. Love them. Every bit as durable as the LL Bean duck boot.
Vasques got me to the top of Mt. Whitney. They rock.
The only boot I ever found that came in widths, specifically narrow. Well, the insoles anyway.
Owned by New Balance now, I believe.
Burn them in a campfire and then retrieve the metal bits out with a magnet and cast them into a little concrete memorial block :-)
