>>1963890Hi anon, I was gonna reply to you but saw you went with the Hanwags. I think it is a good choice. I have a very similar pair, pic related & they are very comfortable & supportive like you said.
I have taken mine on a 1-month 300+ mile long hike and they served me very well. After walking through some deep water I had to dry them out over a fire & it got too close so now they have some fire/soot stains on the inner. but that just adds character. They seem to hold up very well, I haven't noticed anything failing within the 2 years I've had them.
