Hiking Boots / Made in America

[thebrain]

Here is a link to a site that has lists of companies and products that are USA made. The link is to the boots section but the site covers almost everything.

Still searching for that " boot". I dont think the higher heeled versions are for me. A nice wide size 10.5 wide, comfortable, hiking boot. Comfort is the number one asset. Maybe I will have to go away from USA made?

Any ideas fellas , size 10.5
wide
comfortable
good ankle support but NOT too heavy !!!!

Thanks

Hey northernsurvivalist.

If you are considering non-USA options look at Scarpa, La Sportiva and Boreal. They all make excellent boots. The first two companies are Italian and Boreal is based in Spain.

Just double check the country-of-origin on the boots before you buy. While Scarpa and Sportiva build their high-end boots in Italy, the less expensive offerings may be built off-shore. Pretty sure that Boreal builds all their footwear in Spain.

As for fit, Boreal and Scarpa tend to have a slightly more roomy forefoot than Sportiva.
