What's the Truth about Hi-Tec Altitude IV Hiking Boots?

You want to know if you can believe all the hype about Hi-Tec Altitude IV Hiking Boots, don't you? You've always had trouble finding a boot that really felt comfortable, lasted as long as they said it would, was waterproof (yet didn't make your feet stink), and above all, affordable plus free overnight shipping. Time and again you thought you'd found it, but one, or more, of the criteria didn't pan out. You've heard a lot about this boot, but not sure you're ready to shell out the cash or whip out the plastic. Let's just examine these features.

Comfort—does it really deliver?

This thickly padded and light weight boot promises comfort, but is it? Well, some rave that they've either never experienced a "break-in" period or just a very short one.

People on their feet all day tell what a difference this shoe made (compared to others they'd worn) in how they felt at the end of the day. They had no pain in hips, knees or feet.

On the other hand, one person's job also required him to hike up and down hundreds of steps daily and climb in and out of a truck said they were okay for a few hours, but maybe not all day.

Waterproof—is it really?

Well, one person had a chance to test this when his foot got submerged in a swamp and another on after shoveling snow for two hours. Both reported dry feet.

Not only is it waterproof, it is breathable. Want proof? The family no longer has to flee the room when you take your boot off.

Hi-Tec's web site does give care instructions for keeping it waterproof.

Okay, so it seems to deliver on comfort and waterproof, what about

Long-wearing?

I don't know about you, but to me longwearing means how many months or years can you wear them before you have to trash them.

A lot of factors impact this aspect—your weight, type of work you do, how much you wear them. Most people found that the soles wore out before the uppers. One man, who admitted that he was pretty heavy, had to replace them after six months. On the other hand another one wore his for two years and thought he could get another two years on them.

Seems that they comfortable, waterproof, and longwearing, but are they

Affordable?

Hi-Tec aims for the mid-price market. If you can keep them for two years, that increases their affordability. Some have liked them so well that they purchased a second pair, extending the life of both.

Many stores sell them online. They may offer discounts, coupons, or just have low prices. To get the best buy from these online stores, I've found that the best way is to find someone who knows all about finding the best deals.
