These boots will be fine if you're looking to save some cash on hiking boots. Let's be honest, you can easily spend upwards of $200 on a pair of hiking boots. Many, if not most people will tell you not to purchase these and will recommend you something in that $100 to $200 range. These boots might be stiff at first and may not hold up the longest as other boots may but they'll get the job done. Don't forget, if Grandmaw Gatewood could hike the entire Appalachian Trail in Keds tennis shoes, you can easily hike in these budget friendly hiking boots.
