Merrell Moab Ventilator Mids. Great boot.
L.L. Bean boots are the best value. Comfort is another issue, but all L.L. footwear that I've purchased have only reinforced my conviction to only buy L.L. Bean.
I have flat feet that don't like to stand, let alone walk miles.......
Be Prepared
Darkage,
Asking what particular boot to wear is like asking a hiker how to hike each step all the way to Katahdin. (hike "your" own hike)
Do your homework, investigate the lightweight models, & go try on a few @ your local outfitter...then buy them as cheep as you can find them.
good luck with your hike!
Keen Newport watersport sandals. Hiked 20 miles of the Hundred Mile Wilderness with them after my low tops stretched out badly, plus the 10 miles to the base of Katahdin, the mountain, and Tues. and Wed. this week, Mts. Madison, Adams, and Jefferson in the WMNF.
I used Sealskinz socks for these miles.

I've had a pair since post #33 ... still find them to be the most amazing thing i ever put on my feet ... ha ... just pointing that out ... some of ya are only reading the front page, and not the replys .. its all good ... just saying, i've found my boots! =]
I use the Merrell Moab Ventilator shoes, and they are great. Except in snow, which leads me to ask has anyone tried the Vasque Summits? I really enjoy winter camping, esspecially in snow and would love some advice on a good boot for this. I have tried trail runners in snow and frankly they are not for me, even though I love them the rest of the time.
