I broke down and purchased some nice hiking boots
My Vasque boots served me well for 6 years and multiple resoles but the upper and midsoles were at the point of no repair. Vasque no longer makes the model I have so I tried on their new offerings....
They changed the last, none of their wide boots were wide enough. I wear a 13EE.
I tried on boots from about a dozen MFG before I found a pair that gave me the "these are going home with me" feeling. Talk about sticker shock, but I guess perfect fit and comfort is worth it.
ASOLO Fugitive GTX, only $275 plus tax:omfg:
fully waterproof and GoreTex lined
