Hi-Tec boots Gear review

On my last hike I decided to leave behind my ever faithful Vasique hiking booes & try out a new brand of Hi-Tec hiking boots. 

beofre I rate this pair of hiking boot, I probably should day a quick word about using off brands like colman, ozark trail, & Hi-Tec. These brands are not meant for maximum performance that you would expect from brands like North face, OR, & Vasaque. Though these brands will not get you up a mountain, for every day hiking they'll do the job.

As far as trail use goes this pair held up surprisingly well. they're pretty sturdy, though a little lacking in the comfort department. I decided to put some gel sols & that help make things a little more comfortable. theses boot support your ankle very well, it is still possible to roll your ankle; just a little less likely. there is one unfortunate down side, there is a ankle support that digs into you as you go up inclines.

I would recommend this pair of hiking boot for a day hikes or possible multi-day trip. I would not recommend these for more then 2-3 days in the back country.
