>>1511934Go to a shoe store that carries a good selection of hiking boots like Cabelas. Go in the late afternoon so that your feet have swelled up as much as they're going to, wear the type of socks you plan to be using while hiking. Try them on, walk around, ideally you want a pair that has a good fit so that your feet don't move back and forth between your arch and heel to avoid blisters and isn't so tight that it cuts off your circulation as well as leaving your toes room to wiggle. In the toe box you want room so that when you are going downhill they don't hit the front of the toe box, go up and down some stairs if they have some.
When you're sure you've found a pair you like in the right size for that brand, now you can get your phone and check for a better deal online or just buy them there if you don't want to deal with shipping hassles and need them now.
Cabell has a price match policy so it's worth checking out.
