Hey Hiker, I need to invest in a good pair of backpacking boots, any suggestions of good brands? I've been looking at To view links in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. Your post count is 0 momentarily.. Thanks!

Glad I saw this before it dissappeared. I can only say, get something waterproof with a solid, non-flexible connection between the heel and front part of the arch area. Good gripping sole. And most important, comfort. It doesn't matter what brand, as long as you're okay wearing them without discomfort.

I was saying its not about the brand. I dont know how old you are but if you have finished growing its nice to spend some money if u know u are going to use them. U want flexibility under your toes though but not down the sides or at the heel. Waterproof is pretty important
