LaCrosse Men's 17" Country Snake Boots - Waterproof Hunting Boots for Outdoor Adventures, Hiking & Snake Protection (Brown)

I usually wear an 11.5 wide so I ordered those originally. Unfortunately, even with thick socks, it felt like I was wearing flip flops so I sent them back an ordered an 11 wide. The 11 wide with normal Nike socks is a still a bit loose. However with thicker socks, the construction ones you can buy at Walmart, it feels very nice. The whole process was a bit annoying but that’s an inevitability of ordering shoes off the internet. On the upside the boot breaks in fast.I got these shoes not specifically for hiking but for camping, fishing, hunting, and bushwhacking. I believe for those purposes it will do very well. If you plan on taking them on 12+ mile hikes they’d probably be uncomfortable however I don’t think they are intended for that. I would also like to add that where I live it’s averaging around 90°f and the boots feel just fine.As for their design the box toe is very nice and the Kevlar looks cool, however it would be better if there were leather around the ankle. Also I should note that the boot is very wide around the calf. So much so that I fashioned a knife to the inside of my boot.Besides the annoying process of finding a boot that fits the only thing I don’t like is that the leather came really scuffed and scratched but if you can put the aesthetics beside it is very functional.Update: not waterproof
