>>43929And by that I mean to imply that the brand of a pair of hiking boots really doesn't matter. Any boot that retails around $80 or more these days is going to come with pretty much the same feature set and the same quality control as any other.
That said, doing a little research on the Wolverine 1000 Mile boots, these don't appear to be hiking boots. Smooth bottoms will slip right out from under you at the first muddy hill.
