Before anyone jumps on me about good boots being worth the investment I already have a quality pair of hiking boots (Danner Lights) but I'm going to be sending them out to be resoled soon, estimated turnaround time will be about 5-6 weeks, and I'm just looking for a temporary pair to hold me over for whatever hiking I do for the month or so I won't have my main boots. After which these temporary boots will probably go into the trunk of my car as part of my emergency kit to hopefully never be worn again.
Anyone got a favorite pair of cheap boots?
Small checklist I'd like to have:
Wide sizes
Waterproof
Lightweight (though I'm not expecting miracles on that front)
Preferably about a 6" height, I'm flexible on that, but generally I prefer a taller boot.
For that purpose I'd just hit up a few thrift stores and get something that works good enough.
Unfortunately thrift stores around me never seem to have much in the way of decent hiking boots, especially nothing in a wide size.
If you’re in the us goodwill has an auction site that I’ve gotten some great deals on
