I'm gonna get a pair of boots.

Are there any particular brands you've had a good experience with or would advise against?

Also I live in Ireland so mainly damp and wet climate. With that said - leather or synthetics?

holy shit

boots are boots

They are disposable consumables. Different boots made differently with different lasts will fit different people and their different feet differently.

Find one that works for you.

Don't expect anon to tell you what works for you

How do you know a boot works for you before you even buy it?

I'm very particular to Keen boots. Price point is mid-range at $125-ish. Very durable. Just remember like with all hiking boots to replace the inserts. They're all pretty much standard cardboard cutouts that will kill your feet after a few miles. Get some nice gel inserts for $10 and save yourself the foot pain.

Oboz inserts are a notable exceptions. They're hardcore. They also design the fit of the boot with their inserts in mind.

Get as lightweight of a pair ad you can find, preferably with a wide toebox and a sole that flexes before you break then in.

I don't k ow of a model or brand like this, besides maybe merrel. If anyone can help me find minimalist/barefoot style boots that are still somewhat rugged I would appreciate it

Asolo, L.L. Bean, Redwing all make great boots.

I like boots that can be resoled. Danner and Hanwag are my preference.
For boots that can't be resoled, L.L. Bean is a good recomendation.
I've also had good experience with Salomon, but most of their boots have a lot of seams, which isn't desirable from a durability standpoint. Even though they will need to be replaced once the sole is worn out, the seams may fail before you get to that point. Comfy, light and good stability though.

I'll advise AGAINST Hi-tec, as in your picture. I briefly owned a pair from them and the sole began comming of in less than a month. Could have been a stand-alone example, but I'm scared away from that brand now.

I DO recommend Hanwag. My girlfriend has a pair from them and they seem great. Also have two friends who have had Hanwag boots for many years of active use without them breaking.

Love my Keen Durands.

Waterproof, lightweight, nice roomy toebox, the most comfortable boots ive owned. Good amount of ground-feel through the sole without being too thin too. I live in the lake district so hike a lot of rocky terrain. Would recommend.

Hi-tec is kind of known for being cheap in both senses of the word, so I usually avoid them. Their Altitude leather boots had good reviews though, and I needed new boots right away, so I tried them. 3 years later I'm still happy.

It's a starting point - there are a number of issues you can identify straight away and if the store is worth its shit the staff will be able to help you look for other issues.

IMO, you can't go wrong with Merrells and New Balance.

Then GoreTex is a must. Having cold wet feet sucks.

If you weren't a poor faggot and bought some expensive boots for a change you'd see that they can last as long as your dog even.

Have a pair of Columbia boots that were about $70. They have held up well for about 3 years of moderate use. Don't know how well they would work for hardcore hikers.
