Montrail Helium GTX Hiking Boot - Men's

Best boot still! Amazing

By Ranked #20 - Men's Hiking Boots April 13, 2009

I've owned these now for a few more months and wanted to leave another review. I've worn Asolo, Danner, and Lowa's, but they don't compare to these. The ankle and Achilles region has so much support its amazing. I've never owned a pair of boots that support so well. The toe region is rugged, and the soles have lots of traction.

Many people suffer from feet pronation or suppination from birth, injuries, or from recreational use. I have suppination from an injuries in the military. This boot has given me much support where I no longer roll my ankles and the heel pain has diminished. With the right socks (ie smartwool) they breath perfectly. I wear a 25 kilo ruck and jog for 10-15k with no feet problems at all.

Chris Burt below had mentioned not enough padding on the tongue. I disagree. There is atleast a half inch padding. The only thing I recommend is when you lace up make sure your tongue is sealed up for the first 10 times and it should do it correctly after that without having to worry.

Last but not least. Have inserts made for your feet. They are worth every penny.
