I worked a data acquisition job involving a lot hiking in rough terrain through thick scrub. Many people on the crew started out with synthetic Solomon boots like in OP's pic. Just as
>>866123 mentions, intricate designs fall apart very quickly.
By the end of the season everyone had bought Zamberlan Vioz GTX or Asolo TPS Evo (pic related) full leather boots. Can't recommend them enough.
