If you have foot problems this hiker is for you!
This is an awesome hiking boot for those of us with foot problems. I have a neuroma as well as a Taylors bunion on the same foot which has made walking let alone hiking extremely painful. My podiatrist recommended I give Altras a try and my feet haven't felt this good in a long time. After trying the shoes and seeing how much better my feet felt I decided to try the hiker out to replace my hunting boots that really hurt my feet now. I gave them a good workout hiking down into the bottom of a canyon and back through some swampy areas and crossing over wet logs. At the end of the day my feet felt great and were totally dry! The boots performed great! They were really comfortable with plenty of ankle support and traction. If you love to hike or hunt, but can't enjoy it due to foot pain I highly recommend trying these hikers. They even helped reduce my hip and low back pain that I normally get when spending a lot of time standing or walking.One note, Altras do seem to run a little smaller then normal so get a 1/2 size up and it should be perfect.

Awesome hiking Sneaboot
I love my Olympus 5s but for winter hiking in the Shining Rock they were getting too wet in rain and muddy trails with their perforated tops. I wanted something more waterproof and these so far do the trick. I haven't hiked in them yet but I took them out in some mud and they are staying very dry. A few reviewers mentioned their sizing didn't match what they were used to in the low O5's. I run 8.5 and they fit true to size for me. Very comfortable, sturdy, steady and they look great. My new favorite winter "boot".

Superb
Like all Altras, they wear out quick. The other side of the coin is: excellent fit and support. Great traction. Light weight.Despite their short life, I keep coming back to Altra.

Good but some problems
Well, like ALL Altra mids, the gussets don't go up to the top of the tongue, so despite the Gore-tex, water can easily slosh in from the top, and the gussets are way too narrow so it's hard to put them on and take them off.But in shallower water the Gore-Tex seems to work pretty well, they're pretty sturdy, and I love the leather look. I like the soles, they grip pretty well, and the price was pretty good.And, of course, like all Altras, mid or low, the wider foot box is very comfortable but because of their shape you need to order a half size larger than normal.Sure, I'd buy them again. I wouldn't expect perfection, but yeah.

My favorite hiking shoe
The most comfortable hiking show I have ever worn. The perfectly shaped toe box doesn’t cramp my toes and also doesn’t let the shoe slip left or right. A little tighter vertically than the Olympus Via 2 but I don’t tie them as tight and it works perfectly for me. The best combination of space and support I have ever had in a hiking shoe.

Extremely comfortable, but not my favorite
I tried these on along with 5 other “mid” style hiking boots. These were extremely comfortable and seemed high quality, however they looked like clown shoes. The toe box is extremely wide, almost comically so. The price is ridiculously high compared to the 5 other similar models I tried on, and the ankle support is not as good as a few of the others.
