General comments: I bought these boots in hopes of making my feet less tired when hiking. I decided on trying the Hi-tec altitude Women’s Boots because I had previously owned a couple pairs of their training shoes for working around the house and garden. The price range pushed me more to consider these boots as they were not as expensive as others on the market for what seemed to be a perfectly capable boots. Using the shoes straight out of the box, I did find some discomfort. This discomfort was not in the typical places, such as the toes or the heels. Instead when I first bought them, the top of the boots bit into the back of my Achilles tendons and left bruises on the back of my ankles. The only way I could wear the boots initially was to only lace them across the top of the foot, and not utilize the hooks across the ankles. After about a month or so, with some standing and squashing of the ankle area to make them less rigid, I was able to lace them completely up. Aside from my ankle issues, the rest of the boot is relatively comfortable. There is plenty of room for my toes and there is a sufficient amount of arch support; so I have never needed to use any aftermarket insoles. The padding in the wall of the boots appears to be adequate for the temperatures I typically hike. In the hotter months my feet do not get too hot because of the boots' breathing capabilities. In the colder months I find them to be warm enough for my liking.

Pros: Good enough

Cons: uncomfy until broken in
