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%.

Very comfortable Great boot boyfriend loves them - My boyfriend has wide feet. The 11.5 EE fit him perfectly. He loves the fit and says his feet feel great. He's had a hard time finding shoes/boots to fit his feet.

Comfortable all day boot! I am on my feet 10-14 hours a day in a warehouse with a concrete floor. These boots are lightweight and comfortable from the start. If you try them on in a store with a variety of other boots you will truly notice how comfortable they feel immediately compared to all others. After a month or so you will need to replace the insoles. I recommend 'superfeet'. I go through one pair a winter. I am about to get my 3rd pair.

Great comfort and looks - I had never heard of Hi-Tec boots let alone the Altitude IV until I stumbled onto them at Zappos. Easily the best boot I have owned. I just ordered a second pair so I can have one for outdoor leisure activities and use the other at work. All this comfort combined with the great look of the Chocolate Brown makes a 5 star boot.

Great value and performance - I put them on new and went on a strenuous 7-mile hike, with a good varied terrain. They seemed to conform to my foot better as the hike went on. No blisters, no hot spots, as I feared might happen. All in all, a very easy and comfortable break in. Toward the end I was feeling some fatigue on the very bottom of my foot. The padded insole is a bit thin. However a quick review of my closet revealed that the liner in this boot is pretty standard as shoes go; not much padding comes standard. I had an old pair of deck shoes with a thick insole, and I swapped it out - I think that will fix it. For that reason, I give these boots a 4 on comfort. I'm still very pleased, however.

The quest for the perfect work shoes is finally over..... A truly FANTASTIC boot!!! I can't say enough good things about it. I am on my feet all day at work and have been on that "never-ending search/quest" for the perfect work shoe for what seems like forever. I've finally found it!!! I have had ankle problems for years and for the first time in many, many, many years I feel strong, sure, and comfortable on my feet, everyday (I've been wearing them now everyday for over 3 months). I have ordered another pair for fear that when I do need another pair someday, I may not be able to find them anywhere. How that could happen with such a great boot, I don't know, but better safe then sorry later. Thank you Zappos, for carrying this boot!!!

The chocolate brown color is awesome. So far, they appear to be well built and suited for everyday use or hiking. If you like how they look online you will love them on your feet!

I am a Concrete business owner I bought this boot at a local store and right from the bat these boots have held up to the everyday demands of a very unforgiving footwear industry being need deep in concrete or walking or standing these boots are the BEST I’ve ever owned as far as I’m concerned no need to change something perfect. I got another pair on the way through this website because I could not find them anywhere in my hometown.

A very comfortable hiking boot. Nice simple styling without too many hinges and plugs etc. Feels like a more expensive boot than the price would reflect. I found the insole to be arched in the wrong shape for my foot but this was fixed easily by replacing it with a Sole brand heat moldable insole for a perfect fit. Excellent boot.

Love 'em, love 'em! I wear a size 15 shoe; it has always been difficult to find shoes that are comfortable, fit my foot, and have adequate support. My wife chose these boots based on reviews that others had written and apparently the reviews were all dead on. I am entirely pleased with these Hi-Tecs; I have worn them every day since I got them, and I am planning on purchasing another pair to tuck away for the future. I have never had a better pair of hiking boots.

Hiking boots - The arch was too high so I need some inserts. Otherwise they are very comfortable. No breaking in was necessary. I tried 6 pair of boots before finding these. I have a hard time finding boots to fit. The only thing wrong was that the arch was way too high. But without the insole I found another insole that worked well.

“AWESOME SHOE” I never bought a pair of shoes by "mail order" or by the "web" before, my dad always said "It’s like buying a pig in a poke" but I have to say that this time he was wrong. These shoes felt good right out of the box. I am on my feet all day, I prefer sneakers but winter is coming here in the Northeast and I needed a pair of water proof boots that were comfortable and light. "I HATE HEAVY BOOTS." Nice job on these boots Hi-tech, please don’t stop making this model as I will be buying another pair next year. And as for you Zappos, I will see you long before then. It is nice doing business with someone who delivers on what they say. I had these boots in 4 days at no cost to me. "YOU JUST CAN’T BEAT THAT."

Excellent Boot - The Hi-Tec Altitude IV is a surprising value. It has the fit and construction normally found in much more expensive boots. Heal is broad and stable, good for hiking. My pair is a 10 2E wide with good room but not too much room like some wide boots have. I especially like the ankle and heel fit because it is snug and not sloppy like most wide sizes. I had little break in and have put about 20 miles on the boots. They have a beveled heel sole area and front sole area like a good walking shoe. My normal size is 9.5 2EE but the toe box in this size was really short. The 10 EE does not appear to share the same short toe box proportions. I also tried a low cut Hi-Tec and experienced the same differences between the 9.5 EE and 10 EE.

Hiking Boot Nirvana - These are the best hiking boots or for that matter, the best pair of shoes I have ever owned. I want to buy another pair just in case they quit making this style or if I loose them. Bottom line, these are the most comfortable, lightest, best looking hiking boots on this earth. Buy a pair today; you'll be very glad you did.

Excellent Boot - The Hi-Tec Altitude IV is a surprising value. It has the fit and construction normally found in much more expensive boots. Heal is broad and stable, good for hiking. My pair is a 10 2E wide with good room but not too much room like some wide boots have. I especially like the ankle and heel fit because it is snug and not sloppy like most wide sizes. I had little break in and have put about 20 miles on the boots. They have a beveled heel sole area and front sole area like a good walking shoe. My normal size is 9.5 2EE but the toe box in this size was really short. The 10 EE does not appear to share the same short toe box proportions. I also tried a low cut Hi-Tec and experienced the same differences between the 9.5 EE and 10 EE.

Hiking Boot Nirvana - These are the best hiking boots or for that matter, the best pair of shoes I have ever owned. I want to buy another pair just in case they quit making this style or if I loose them. Bottom line, these are the most comfortable, lightest, best looking hiking boots on this earth. Buy a pair today; you'll be very glad you did.
