Those boots look ok and should do the job, the only thing is how long will they last but no problem, if you take care of them after each trip like fully dry them out and re-water proof them now and again they should do the job .

What kinds of boots have good in-sole cushioning? I once walked several hours on sports shoes, and my feet hurt for about three days after that - it was a lot worse when I was wearing formal shoes (not for hiking, though - I was job hunting).

I should think that some boot designs will suit some feet better than others, but I use an Asolo leather boot (TPS 535 wide fit) and can't fault them.

Fit it in, make sure you are comfortable.

Buy a brand that is well known. Though its expensive, you can be sure of the quality.

These will do multiple duty - hiking, yard work, MC riding, hunting. Not the best for any one use, but a good compromise for all I need.

 

So far, been wearing them all week.  A bit of soreness the first day, working them in.  By Friday, on my  feet all day - they feel great!  I'll do a local 'Nature Trail' next weekend to try them over a few miles, before committing to a long hike.  I learned to NEVER try NEW gear the first time on a long trip - if it don't work, it can be worse than just painful!
