Im in the market for a new pair of hiking boots or shoes. I previously had Merrill moab ventilators which tore the shit out of my foot on a 50mi backpacking trip. My requirements are that I can backpack with up to 40lbs day after day comfortably. I dont care whether or not it has gortex.

I liked the look of Adidas outdoor line but I tried their swift x shoe at REI today and it didnt feel that great. My budget is $150 or less.
