Hiking boots

Sort of missed this thread earlier.
The latest update on the military's search for new jungle boots, https://kitup.military.com/2017/03/jungle-combat-boot.html

Salomon has some great boots that can easily be worn for running, most of these are available elsewhere in more civy colors, http://www.lapolicegear.com/salomon-footwear.html
The non-GTX Mids are very breathable and water will run out of them, their jungles also look pretty good.

 

Finding good hiking shoes in wide widths is near impossible. I really wanted to try some Salomons, but the don't make wides. I've been stuck with Merrell's and USMC boots. For less than $100, the USMC boots haven't been that bad. They're heavy, but they work.

 

If we're now looking at shoes that are suitable for hiking, I've been beating the crap out of my Merrell All Out Peak trail running shoes. They have a sort of "cleat" which makes them awesome for running rough trails. They seem to have a pretty straight cut, so no problems with them being too narrow.
Another Merrell running shoe to look at is the All Out Crush Tough Mudder, which has drainage holes.

 

I know old thread, but how did you like the Danner Mountain Lights? I've been looking at them and thinking about getting them for a trip to WV in July. Pros? Cons?

 

Thanks.
