Good boots - These boots fit great. I even bought a second pair. I often have problems fitting boots, since I have an enlarged knuckle on my big toe because of arthritis. Buy em you won't be disappointed.

Construction worker - VERY COMFORTABLE - This is the 3rd pair of Hi-Tec boots I've bought. I work in new commercial construction and am on my feet 8-9 hours a day. I am also flat footed, so footwear is my most important thing I wear. I've had Caterpillar and Timberland boots in the past and wasn’t very happy with their comfortability. These boots come with very soft insoles already in the boots. The lace hooks are very secure and haven’t fallen off, unlike other boots I've owned. The soles have excellent grip. For me (being flat footed) the sloes last about a year. I highly recommend these boots, mostly because how comfortable they are.

Frequent Hiking Shoes - I had to track these down online because they're the only ones that really fit my feet – often I have to "break in" shoes that are never really comfortable & these are ready from the first time I step into them. They've got sturdy support & don't get uncomfortable when I'm hiking 9-12 miles. I'll be ordering more as I wear these out.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: I'd actually recommend socks - the thick Smartwool ones.

GREAT SERVICE!!! I do a lot of extensive outdoor and hiking activities and I've owned a pair of Altitude II's for the last five years. Most reliable pair of boots I've ever owned, I've put a lot of miles over those 5 years. The only reason I couldn't go on is because I made the mistake of throwing them in the dryer for a quick fix after getting them soaked from a sudden downpour. So I purchased these and I've already broken them in and am just as comfortable as ever. I know this pair will last me a long time and the fit stays true even with the new model. Not only that, but I ordered free shipping when I ordered these yet they delivered it overnight without extra fees. Not only do I look forward to breaking in these boots, but I look forward to purchasing more from Zappos and telling my friends and family where to obtain such a great pair of boots!

Wet feet - I need water proof shoes, because I work in all kinds of weather. I have yet to find shoes that will keep my feet dry. The Hi tech boot (walking on wet grass for 3 hours) DID NOT KEEP MY FEET DRY. After 1.5 hours my feet were soaked. I am truly disappointed.

Difficult to fit shoe person - The boot is comfortable now after about 5 miles of mall walking. I did not want to wear it in the field until I knew it fit. My right foot is a comfortable fit at EEE. My left foot is a little wider bordering on EEEE. Thus the mall test. I just got back from my forth outing at the mall and have concluded that both boots fit well. I anticipate that, like most shoes, they will fit better over time. I like the look and the feel of this boot and Zappos service was superb on this purchase.

These boots are the best. I walk a mile to the subway from my house. Working 12 hour days, 7 days a week, for the last 5 weeks. I am on my feet all day working in a wood shop; these boots make it comfortable enough for me to make it through the day. I suggest everyone have a pair.

Great bargain for light hiker - Although these are not the most comfortable hikers I've owned they are definitely worth the price. They take very little time to break in. This is the second pair of Hi-Tecs I've owned and I think this is a quality brand for the price.

Great shoe...great online store! First of all, Zappos was WONDERFUL! I ordered these a few days before Christmas and forgot to change my address in my profile, so they were sent to the wrong address. Zappos sent out a second pair to the correct address (free rush delivery) and didn't charge me any extra. I was quite impressed. As for the shoes, they are wonderful. My husband can't find any other boot he likes better. Will definitely buy this boot from Zappos again!

Excellent all-weather walking boot - This is my second pair of Altitude IVs. I have flat, sensitive feet and have great difficulty finding comfortable, supportive footwear. These boots have just the right rigidity of arch and cushioned support to keep my feet comfortable, even after long hikes. Orthotics work well with this boot also. Durable, attractive, great price!

Great for work - I purchased these boots for my husband in hopes that they would be a comfortable shoe for his job. He is a self employed carpenter. He put these on Christmas morning to try and has used them every day since. He usually has to buy a size 11 to fit, but I bought a 10 1/2 wide and he is very happy. Not once has he complained of foot or leg pain since starting to wear these shoes. I will definitely buy him more of this brand.

Sweet!!! I know it's stupid but I broke in these shoes at the Napali Coast hike which is a treacherous 11-mile mud-cliffs-mountains-different elevations-rocks-&-roots hike. But Hi-Tec's Altitude IV did well overall. My feet were naturally aching but it felt much better when I used a pair of special hiking socks on the halfway point. They definitely keep your feet dry in the rain and mud puddles.

Good boot - I bought these boots for my husband for Christmas. He wanted a good winter boot and also wanted something that looked nice too. This boot accomplished both. He put them on the day after Christmas and has worn them everyday since. I ordered them at night one day and had them at my door 24 hours later. Not bad...definitely order from Zappos again!!!

Great Boot. This is the most comfortable hiking boot I have owned. The sole is firm enough that you don't feel every pebble/root on the trail but flexible enough to feel like a running shoe. I wore them around the house for two days before my first hike and that was all the break in they needed. Since then, I have worn them to cover seventy or eighty miles of trail and they have held up well. My only complaint is that the cushion insert has worn down rather quickly. It is still very comfortable, but I am not sure how long it will be before I need to look for new inserts.

Hi-Tec's Altitude IV - I bought these boots as a replacement for my Vasque, Gore-Tex XCR hiking boots (I've had for 6 years). They are not better but they are a well built boot. A little stiff for the first few days but now are broke in. I walk 1 1/2 miles in the evening to take my dog for a walk every day! I do like them and recommend them if you have all kinds of weather to deal with. I live in southern Germany so you need good all weather boots.

Great boots! Very well made boots. I wear them daily and walk a lot (college student) and these boots are a month into their second year. The soles are worn flat and the soles are just starting to separate from the edge of the leather. I'm here to buy my second pair.

This is a great boot!!! I just received this boot and Zappos’ overnight shipping is great!!! I also called and the salesman was excellent and his advice was right on!! He deserves a raise in salary!! Since I always appreciate Customer Reviews, here is mine: The boot is amazingly comfortable; it looks great in the brown; like a combination between leather and softer suede, really nice. Rugged yet not sloppy. I ordered a 1/2 size larger so I could easily wear thick warm socks and put in orthodics or other supports and it is perfect. Feels soft yet very supportive. Waterproof and tall enough to support my ankles too. Other writers were correct... no break-in needed. I wanted brown, but I would think the black is also great looking, if that is what you want. I recommend this boot 100%.

Shoe Width: Felt true to width
Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support
This is a great boot!!! I just received this boot and Zappos’ overnight shipping is great!!! I also called and the salesman was excellent and his advice was right on!! He deserves a raise in salary!! Since I always appreciate Customer Reviews, here is mine: The boot is amazingly comfortable; it looks great in the brown; like a combination between leather and softer suede, really nice. Rugged yet not sloppy. I ordered a 1/2 size larger so I could easily wear thick warm socks and put in orthodics or other supports and it is perfect. Feels soft yet very supportive. Waterproof and tall enough to support my ankles too. Other writers were correct... no break-in needed. I wanted brown, but I would think the black is also great looking, if that is what you want. I recommend this boot 100%.
