Ozark Trail Men's Red Lace Hiking Boot

The boots run a bit large. Okay, if you add heavy socks. The tongue is only stitched at the bottom. I have to stop what I'm doing way too often to remove sand and stones. That said, you can expect wet socks from walking in wet grass. The lowest speed hook, on each side, should have been an eyelet. The laces thread through the tongue there. It is time consuming trying to rehook the laces on the lowest hook. The laces might look nice, but they're too big to be functional. It takes too much force to tighten the laces. The speed hooks bend too easily. They are attached with two rivets, which helps. Standard boot laces help too. These boots are okay for outdoor work, but they're not comfortable enough, nor designed for hiking. My last pair of Ozark hikers (different style-very comfortable) only lasted a week before the soles fell off. I purchased these on line based on reviews, and I needed something inexpensive to get by. I would not recommend these for hiking.

Bought these boots to give them a try since they were so cheap. Wanted to replace my wide boots for something a little more narrow. These boots are surprisingly decent quality! High ankle support and feels strong. Also, feels like good rubber on them too. Pleasantly surprised with the quality for the price. I would just say that you should prob buy an insert for comfortability since they are lacking a little in that area. But cheap china boot that actually isnt bad!
