Are any of the /fa/ boots good for hiking in?
Like a Doc Martens, Redwings or Timberlands for entry level, or higher end full leather boots.

Not really, they're all too heavy to be practical. If it's just a casual hike with friends or something, sure.

given that docs are almost impossible to resole, i suspect they'd come apart from any real abuse (i just googled it and sole splitting looks like a common issue). redwings or timbs might be ok. personally i refuse to wear anything other than combat boots - and if youre insistent on weather leather, i see no reason not to take it to that logical conclusion

Vans makes.some.hiking boots but /fa/gs probably don't approve of Vans.
Adidas Nike New Balance and Under Armour make great outdoor shoes

/fa/ are a bunch of /fa/ggots for a reason
they spend way too much on shit for looks
I tried their boot thread weeks back and it was so bad man, and most people just post pictures from online stores not even their own
others own several very expensive boots, perhaps even quality, but they are clean and have literally never been taken out for a walk
so I would not consider them for /out/ boot needs

Leather boots aren't impractical, it really is situational. I have m77s and need them because I bush wack on fucked up terrain that normal hiking boots can't stand. I understand long thru hikes, but you also can just get stronger.

I have a pair of vintage docs that I got second hand over a decade ago, and they're my favorite work/hiking boots ever, but I can't really use them now because the leather is full of holes. They're super lightweight and easy to waterproof, though, and I like that they are kind of loose on my foot but tight on my ankle. I've been scouring the internet for another of the same pair.

Redwings are fine, as are other work boots. Your run of the mill faggy chukkas aren't gonna cut it tho. As for tims, maybe? AFAIK, they stopped being work boots after the cashed in on niggers buying them because they thought they looked nice or whatever.

They did, for sure. I'm looking for a vintage pair just like mine, from when they were made well. Just hard to find in my size.

Since it's a girl in the pic, here's my perspective.
I've hiked day trips on different pairs of leather boots in the past and it was mostly fine. If they're comfortable enough to walk for a long time they're probably be also fine for mild hiking.
However, obviously don't take them out in very cold climates because your feet will freeze so quickly. They might suffer a bit AND they're a huge pain to clean every time they get muddy. Which for me, was a lot.
If you plan to hike a lot I'd just get some dedicated shoes/boots.

Most the world has moved to using polyurethane in boot outsoles or they tend to weight 4 to 5 lbs.
M77 and Redback are better. If you are walking a bunch you're not going to care if you look pretty.

I wouldn't recommend Docs for anything desu. I bought a pair a couple years ago and they are still not broken in properly. They might honestly be better on a hike but on concrete or manmade surfaces they are miserable. They won't wear out either which is shame because I'm not gonna buy new boots if I have a pair that aren't destroyed.

Guess what, people wear clothing not only to impress others, they also do, because they like how they look on themselves, FOR themselves.
