Hanwag Ferrata II GTX Backpacking Boot - Men's

Taking care of my feet and knees is important to me as a large hiker (6'2 200 pounds), especially when hiking through rocky and rough terrain. I've tried a lot of different boots before, but this one outperforms them all. They're comfortable enough to walk around in like regular shoes, but they're a little odd when paired with dress pants or jeans. br>br>On and off the trails, the hard shell provides excellent protection from rocks and debris. The lacing system is excellent, allowing for a secure but not overly secure fit. The only disadvantage is that the small hinges that secure the laces can get stuck and be difficult to unstick, especially when hiking in dusty conditions. However, lubricant will fix this, but it will be difficult to remove the boot if it becomes stuck. A small tab that acts as a lever to make flipping the hinge up easier would be an improvement.
