LOWA Men's Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boots - Waterproof Leather Trekking Shoes for Outdoor Adventures & Mountain Climbing

I used to live in walking boots, so I am fairly sure I know what I want. I'd recently been let down on quality from my usual go-to brand, so did a load of research and ended up with these. I've now taken them for a decent hike as well as walking into town, walking the dog, that kind of thing. First, they are easy to get on and off. This might sound strange, but some boots you have to almost unlace completely before you can get them on or off. Second, they are clunky and robust, but I can drive in them. So, not so clunky that you totally lose the use of your feet. Third, they fit as expected. I am usually a 44/45, 45 for Timberland shoes. I ordered a 45 (10.5 in UK money) and they fit very well with a moderately thick sock. Forth, I have wide feet and these are comfortable in that regard. Overall, they are comfortable, and I am very pleased with this purchase. I have not tested for waterproofness, I just pop a load of boot sealant on these as a matter of course and so far the rain has not penetrated.
