What do you plan on using them for: casual wear, hiking, patrolling, urban operations, etc?

The Merrell Sawtooths are okay for light hikers. ASOLO FSN95GTX are more rugged and have better ankle support with a wider heel than some of their other offerings. The Salomon Quest 4D GTX is also a contender in the hiking/trekking category. I have been wearing them for the past few months while rucking and, other than them being quite warm, they are quickly becoming a favorite of mine. The Hanwag Mountain Lite GTX is also a great boot for trekking/hiking but they are the most expensive as well.

One thing to remember about hiking boots, especially if you are intending on doing any amount of serious hiking/trekking, they should be fitted to your foot just like a good running show.
