Good solid support - Hanwag Tashi Casual Boot - Men's

I bought these boots because I wanted to hike the JMT with a heavy pack. I didn't want to be 100 miles from nowhere and break my ankle. I've hiked over 200 miles in these boots and they hardly show any wear. Unlike other reviewers, I found the boots did need a break-in time. Also, this is not a light boot. This is a heavy duty, reasonably comfortable, hiking boot. The part I don't like is it uses 4 buckles to lace up the boot. This makes it easy to get your foot into the boot, but it gets to be kind of a pain to deal with 2 feet of laces all the time. Plus, one set of buckles is recessed back for some reason which makes it a little harder to hit when lacing up the boot. All things considered, it seems to be a quality boot that offers a good deal of support.
