I am looking for a good, on the cheaper side hiking boot, for 5 - 10 mile hikes in easy - medium terrain, most likely nothing really hard. But I want a boot that can do a little bit of everything. I also have flat feet and have customer orthopedic inserts that I use in all my shoes. Are the soles in these shoes removable?
Do I need to buy regular width or extra wide to support a thick sock? All of my current regular shoes are normal width.
Thanks for the help!

Insoles are removable. I had to go a full size larger than normal to get them wide enough but they are still good. I also walk 5-10 per day but on definitely rugged and steep terrain. They have tough midsoles which makes them good for rough terrain but a little hard on smooth flat surfaces. If you you don't need rugged or waterproof you might be able to save more money by buying hiking shoes from someone like New Balance, Adidas or Nike. (My New Balance hiking shoes are very light and comfy and come in 2E widh.)

The Packus Ridge Ridge is a good option. The insoles are removable. This shoe only comes in a regular width. Depends on the sock and how thick it is whether or not you would need a wide. You may need to go up a half size if the insole and the socks are really thick. Chris
