After he checked me out, he said there was no noticeable swelling or discoloration. Bottom line is these hikers are terrible for actual hiking. Not high quality, but then, they are not high price. Tents, hammocks or open-air camping — you can do it all according to your comfort level.
I’m a roofer and I buy these boot all the time. I would never wear these boots for hiking, but they are the greatest shoes for the roof. Ozark makes them with cheap rubber which enables them to stick to the steeper roof pitches. They don’t last long at all but I will continue to buy them as long as I can find those reggie III’s . I’ve walked hundreds of miles in cheap sneakers that have held up and here are hiking boots that can’t even make it to 50 miles.
If you’re planning a camping trip in the near future, you may want to invest in an Ozark Trail backpack to take with you. Ozark Trail camping gear and backpacks are popular among budget-minded folks. They are currently owned by Walmart, and they produce durable backpacks that are ideal for hiking and camping – but that isn’t all. These boots were supposed to be leather but after 8 weeks of wearing them, they are tearing apart. Wal-Mart won’t exchange the boots for me because they no longer carry that brand. I will never EVER buy any Ozark Trail products again.
Just be prepared to face changing weather conditions out in the wilderness. If you plan to go on extended trips or hikes, then the Ozark Trail 45L Montpelier will work better for you. There’s a reflective safety print on the bag, so it’s ideal for long distance cyclists as well as hikers. The backpack is made from polyester and heavy-duty ripstop material, so it’s very durable and strong.
I bought these a couple of years ago on sale and as I had no immediate need put them away. I have started training for a backpacking trip and decided to use these. I have used about 30 days of approximately 6 to 10 miles a day with a 25 lb backpack.
The backpack also has lots of storage compartments, including an interior storage section that can hold a water bottle, a tablet or a laptop. This is ideal for office ozark trail backpack workers and students. Inside the Ozark Trail 35L Choteau daypack you’ll find a pocket that’s thermal insulated, and this can be used to keep your food warm or cold.
They have had very little use and the sole is coming off the boot. Anyone could look at the sole and see how much wear they have had, as well as the top of the boot. I have purchased this same type of boot in the past, without issue, was hoping for a repeat. Sorry to say, this may cause me to look elsewhere and go with a different brand. I strongly urge people to go with ANYTHING else if you want a lasting boot. Someone posted that these are probably made in the same Chinese factory as 120 dollar boots.
