I was looking for a pair of high-top shoes for walking when I found a review of Hi-Tec's Altitude IV Hiking Boot. They sounded what I had been looking for, so I purchased a pair. I have been pleased with the fit and comfort of the boots, and the short break-in period.  I thought at first that the soles might be a little too aggressive for my needs, but they have worked out fine.  The jury is still out on the durability, since I have only worn them for about a month, but I am very happy with the purchase.  I like the looks of the boots as well.
