Reviews & Ratings for Hi-Tec Altitude Pro Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot - Women's — 2 reviews — Page 1

I have worn these boots several times for about 10 miles each time, and they are really great boots, in my opinion.

The Vibram soles allow the boots to stick to rock even when it's wet, the Rolling Gait System makes it so that I don't strike so heavily on my heel, the shoes are super light weight, and seem to be waterproof as they been able to handle hiking in snow.

All in all I highly recommend these boots.

Also, shout out to Camp Saver for being so awesome. I ordered these a half a size too large and Camp Saver made it super easy to exchange. They also offered the boots for a great deal, so thanks guys!

I'd give this boot 4.5 stars. Prior to this boot I had been day hiking with my (very) heavy duty, but super comfortable backpacking boot. I knew I needed a lighter, mid-duty one for some high altitude hiking I was planning in Japan and Africa. I had read some good reviews about Hi-Tec and thought I'd give it a chance. This is my first Hi-Tec boot and I'm definitely impressed. The boot is just solid & very well made. The soles are Vibram and have deep treads so they grip really well and provide good stability in rocky areas. There is a rubber toe guard which is great because that is the highest abrasion area for me and I ruin any boot that doesn't have protection in that area. I did not get a chance to test the waterproof quality nor can I speak to it's longevity since I've only had it a couple months. One critique of this boot is that it's very wide. It's great when your toes have room to spread but it's a little too much room. Another critique is that the lacing can be a bit finnicky and the lacing hooks feels a bit sharp (probably because the metal is a little thinner than other boots I've had.)

Overall, I would recommend this boot. Mine has taken me to the summit of both Mt. Fuji in Japan as well as Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa. I've had many other brands of boots in the past - Zamberlan, Asolo, Merrell, Vasque, Salomon, Keen, etc. and can say for certain that this Hi Tec boot is a great value for what you get.
