Favorite Sneaker Boot?

[ThreeOhSeven]

I am looking for a new sneaker boot for early to mid season hunting in Wyoming. I currently have the Solomon X ultra 4 mid, but don't love them. It may be because I have a widish foot and should have got the wides.
My ideal boot would be waterproof, mid height, uninsulated, with a comfortable midsole and Vibram sole.
I was about to pull the trigger on a pair of Belleville Amrap Vapors but I couldn't look past all the bad reviews of seam separation.
Anyone have any good recommendations?

I’ve had good luck with the Salewas. Wearing the Mountan Trainer 2 Mid now and have worn the Alps Trainer in the past. The Alps feels more like a trail runner but both worked well for September and October.

I have been wearing the INNOV8 boot, I think the 345 series it is by far my favorite ligthweight hiking boot.

I wear these. They had an older model that I liked better. Not sure if you have a Scheels near you but they stock them and you can try them on.

I've never tried altras, but I had a pair of Hokas that were good hikers but didn't have a sufficient sole for hunting. I'll try and find some to try on.

I really like the crispi attiva and the attiva mid. They’re not exactly water proof though.

Pick up a pair of the Crispi Valdres hikers from Midway USA for $165. They’re a leather boot, but early season boot.

Not to derail, but a few color options of the 345’s are on clearance and with code INOV10 you’ll get an additional 10% off. Got a pair for $64 shipped.

Have a few hundred miles between two pairs of these. https://www.thenorthface.com/en-us/...stpack-mid-futurelight-hiking-boots-pNF0A5JCW
Recently bought these as they were more substantial than the ones above but not a heavy boot. The tread is really good on slick surfaces and loose gravel. https://www.merrell.com/US/en/rogue-hiker-mid-gore-tex/57816M.html

Neither are sold in a wide but both are made on a standard fit not a skinny mountain boot scale. The first one is a hair wider.

Some great food for thought here.
Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences. Footwear can be very personal, but all great suggestions

Just ordered a pair for $64.00. At that price definitely worth giving them a go. Looks like the perfect early season boot.

How are these with thorns and cactus?

How are these with thorns and cactus?

No clue, probably nothing like leather and more like cloth for the upper. The sole I don't think would be any different than a traditional "hunting" boot.
