Problem with these is, there are better looking boots for less money, and better hiking boots for less money.

Would like to see what you consider better hiking boots for less money?

I don't mind how they they look although there are details I would change. The triple stitching is a nice touch but I wish Tricker's had made them a wholecut and offered an all black colourway.

My nomination for alternative leather hiking boots goes to Amundsen's Mountain Mucks; with or with gaiters!

It's subjective of course, but I would choose a number of specialist hiking brands over the Tricker's. I do lots of very long hikes, ranging from 30-50km so value my walking boots being lightweight. I'd probably avoid GYW construction for this reason. I don't really care much for looks with hiking boots as for me they are technical, utilitarian footwear - tools not jewels!

OK. I know nothing about specialist hiking brands, any chance of posting some examples of the brands/which models you would choose to wear?

Of course, will PM so not to clog the Tricker's forum with irrelevant posts.

I’d think that as others like Viberg have made hikers that’s possibly a trigger. More for the city rambler but I could be wrong: I only own a pair for dog walking in winter and am not the target demo.

Viberg still offer a Hiker which no doubts fall into the City Hiker category - is there a term for this? Like 'style over substance'.

Hiker - Gobi Regency Calf

The Hiker, or Model 66, was added to our collection in the early 1970s as mountaineering-inspired version of our Model 105 Logging Boot. We set out to create a boot that is suitable for alpine trekking that features the functional utility of our industrial products, and the final result is the...

I think having the "gotta catch em all" philosophy to boots, we are 100% in their target demo.

Take it you've already ordered yours.

Ha. TBH, those have zero appeal to me. If I was to actually do any hiking I’d get some real technical hiking boots.

I live in an area that is tailor made for hiking. Alas, I am not!

Take it you're close to the lakes - this is criminal.

Holy crap, the US price for those hikers is $920.
