Carhartt Men's ST Waterproof Hiker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Carhartt Hiker is a great boot, period. I am a construction worker who walks anywhere from 3 to 10 miles every day at work onthe site.I tried Wolverine Moc Toes, I loved them, but they were worn out and unwearable after 6 months. Then I switched to the Carhartt 3939 9" Logger/Lineman Boot, which was awesome, while slightly less comfortable than the Wolverine Moc Toe, the Carhartt loggers lasted more than twice as long than the Wolverines, lasting over a full year and, as I estimated, 1500 miles of wear and tear.Even though they were twice as expensive and lasted twice as long plus a month or so, I consider them a better value because the Carhartt Lineman boot needed virtually no breaking in and the Wolverines were misery for the first two weeks (And I would have had to go through that twice during the same time fame that I owned the Linemans).After the Linemans Boots wore out, I figured I'd try the Carhartt Hiker Boot, since I walk so much, its almost as if I go on a long hike everyday.I longed for something lightweight.

Let me preface this by saying that I am convinced, through years of experience, trying to find the best of every type of gear for high endurance use, that Carhartt doesn't make any poor product and that anything you buy from Carhartt is going to be worth whatever price you pay for it. The hiker boot it very lightweight. You can hardly even tell that you are wearing it.And it is durable (so far). I have been wearing the hiker for seven months already, the full lifespan of the Wolverine Moc Toe, and it is not even showing ANY wear and tear yet.Time will tell if it is as durable as the Carhartt Lineman Boot. <>

///Despite the fact that it is less expensive and lighter than the Linemans Boot, I'm pretty sure that I will return to the Lineman after these wear out simply due to the fact that the Hiker's tongue is BIG and does not flatten out with use.For me, it folds over in strange ways within the boot and creates an uncomfortable fit.Maybe it won't bother you as much as it does me, and in that case the Hiker is the best boot you could buy (Based on my experience), but for me, its a fatal flaw.///

UPDATE: After 8 months, the tongue conforms to fit and the boot becomes perfect.
