Hi everyone, I've just spent the whole of today going between Anaconda, Kathmandu and MacPac on the hunt for hiking boots that I can wear for a year long backpacking trip around Europe and Asia. Preferably they need to be waterproof, simple neutral colours and budget friendly. The sizes were varying between brands but I was generally fitting a 9.5 US women's or 8.5 men's. I tried many Merrels, Keen, Colombia, HiTec and even the ones branded as wide still felt too narrow. If anyone has any recommendations for wider-fit hiking boots that I can try on in Australia, that would be amazing. #camping #activity #hiking
