I use Haix military boots for hiking.
I had bit of a boot collection going on and had some original non Berghaus Brasher Supalites, over rated Meindl, and a pair of Altberg Defenders. Upon discovering Haix I’ve sold the Altberg and thrown the Meindl’s and retired the Brashers.
I use the Haix hi liability for general stomping (goretex half leather boot), the desert boot for summer (non goretex, suede) and the Wet/cold weather boot for winter/bog stomping (full leather, goretex, thinsulate.
Very high end well made boots, German company but made in their factory in Croatia. Very supportive and comfy with amazing sole’s that grip on anything unlike overrated lethal vibram.
Paid no more than £45 for them from ebay – all brand new, boxed with spare laces and insoles.
