Hi-Tec Men's Bandera Lite Walking Boots

Product Information

As well as hiking, if you do a bit of fishing, they might work fine as a pair of boots to protect your feet while walking to and from your fishing spots, that sort of thing. If you need a pair of sturdier boots for normal day-to-day use, then the Bandera’s should fit the bill well too. This boot is completely waterproof, and made entirely out of leather and textile. It has a suede and mesh upper with i-Shield waterproof construction to ensure your feet stay nice and dry.

For many people, who want a cheap boot for light trail work at the weekend the Bandera’s would probably be perfect, for me they were just painful.The Hi Tec Bandera is a 100% leather and textile mid top hiking boot. It’s not completely waterproof, but it’s close to it. Although that might be a negative to some people, it does allow it to be very breathable.

Waterproof suede leather and high performance fabric upper provides durability, breathability and comfort The laces are tied using a Gilly lacing systems and, as mentioned in the last piece, I did find a lot of comments from folks having difficulty with the laces on the Bandera’s.The laces also have cloth lace retainers on the side which, from my experience, can give quite easily. Once a lace breaks through one of those, your hiking boots are pretty much done as you can’t replace them so go easy! From the arch of the boot the shaft measure 5.5 inches, so it has plenty of ankle support. As with a few other Hi Tec boots, the Skamania uses a steel shank for added support and stability. There are four color combinations to choose from 1. Brown/Olive/Snow 2. Camo 3. Taupe/Gold 4.Bone/Brown/Mustard. All in all the boot looks pretty good from an aesthetic point of view. The outside of the boot is just as impressive as the inside. It has i-Shield water-repellent and stain resistant properties, so they stay looking nice and new for longer. The shaft of the boot measures 5″ from the arch, and it has a 1.5″ heel. Similar to other Hi Tec boots, the Altitude Lite has a multi-directional MDT outsole.

When it comes to the outsole, the Logan fairs well compared to other Hi Tec hiking boots. It has a multi-directional traction MDT outsole, so it’s durable and has plenty of grip. A great unisex boot for Hi Tec fans is the Skamania. They have both a men’s and a women’s version available. They’re identical in design, with just a few differences in color options and sizing.Part of the best-selling Bandera range, these men's waterproof walking boots are a great choice for dog walkers and outdoor lovers. Product Details The OX comes in a high and mid version, but there is also a low version that’s more like a shoe than a boot. It’s much lower than traditional hiking boots, but it still provides more ankle support than a normal shoe. One of the biggest selling points for the Altitude Lite is how comfortable they are. They use OrthoLite impressions insoles, (hence the “Lite”) and they’re great on almost any terrain.
