This shoe is par for the course for Hi-Tec.  Excellent support, durable, comfortable to wear for hiking or just around town.
I have tried other brands of hikers, Columbia, et al, and there is no comparison to Hi-Tec.  The others wear out quickly and the support does not last.  I am active and on my feet all day and Hi-Tec hikers allow me to do what I want/need to do without worrying about my feet.
I would highly recommend this particular hiker as well as the Hi-Tec brand in general.
